It was one of my suspicions the entire time, and it was confirmed when I could move the center portion of the pilot bearing in and out inside the housing. After fighting with the remnants of the old bearing, I finally got it out. The comparison: <a href="http://s444.photobucket.com/user/Mustang1619/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140510_225502_zps869f779a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20140510_225502_zps869f779a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>What a relief this is! This is one instance when I loved to see broken parts on my car. This was probably the best case scenario of a crappy situation, because I don't have to wait around for a warranty clutch or flywheel to ship in etc, so I got a new pilot bearing, throwout bearing, and rear main seal and started putting it back together.New pilot bearing and rear main:<a href="http://s444.photobucket.com/user/Mustang1619/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140510_233403_zpsf4df0e98.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20140510_233403_zpsf4df0e98.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>I'll continue working on the car tomorrow, but at least now I'm not still wondering what is going on with the car.. now it's all just time and labor!Questions/Comments welcome.</blockquote>
