So some have commented that finding work is painful, but my current issue is getting rid of clients. here's the link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6270791

Problem: I would like to pass off my contract to the right person (talent wise) and no one in my network fits their needs. I also want to be paid for the lead / introduction.

I know exactly what you mean. I run into the same problems. I have been lucky enough to not been let go from any contract yet and I am the one who had to leave for greener pastures usually at the end of contract even though the client wants to renew. I always wished I could get the current client someone to replace me but it is just so hard to do that.

I'm also interested in this, both for transitioning clients and referring work I don't have time for.

I don't want to manage a sub-contractor, and it's awkward to "hire" someone to refer work to.
