Definitely get the I.S.B. replaced ASAP. If the bearing falls apart, the spherical/metallic balls inside can fall out into the transmissions gears.
If your clutch is good you may just be out a good amount on labor, but better than having to shop around for a rebuilt trans at 5x the cost of this job to replace the ISB, easy.
