Hmm.

Doesn't explain your self-heal, unless it finally knocked it completely loose and out of the clutch somehow...but I pulled the trans to replace the clutch on one of my cars and found one of the springs (I assume they are there to avoid chatter and/or absorb drive-line vibrations) on the clutch disk had a coil or so broken off. It was stuck in there. Different symptoms though...clutch would NOT disengage. Figure it was jammed in there, stopping things from working properly. Maybe you've just dislodged a spring that was broken and messing things up.
