Is there a way to lube the throw out bearing without taking the transmission out?

Nope. Time to pull it apart and replace some parts

Unfortunately, no.   But the good is that these transmissions are very easy to remove.   2 bolts for the starter, 1 small bolt/nut for the transition plate, undo the 2 bolts on the clutch slave cylinder, remove the driveshaft, unplug the reverse light/speedo/sensor, and undo the shifter (which probably is the hardest part because you have to take out the center console...or sneak up there from below in the tunnel with a wrench and small hands).  Then four tranny to engine bolts and it is out.   It's also not too heavy.  Regular floor jack is sufficient or even muscle it out by hand.

I did that the first time thinking, it can't be that heavy, I have room. Then I was stuck with a trans on my chest and no room to slide myself out with the trans. 

I did NOT have room and it was heavy enough to be difficult. Lessons were learned 🙂Floor jack is 100% the way to go. Even easier if you have a low profile jack.
