The car wouldn't move or go into gear really. The throw out bearing pretty much pulled in two once we got it out, and a metal ring inside it was all bent up, but I figured I'd just remove the clutch and pressure plate while I was at it just to make sure, and here's what they look like.

Flywheel:







Pressure plate:




Clutch:

I'm sure the throw out bearing was the problem. Everything else looks ok. Make sure the throw out bearing and disc is installed properly.

Do everything you can while you've got it out. Put in a new teflon felpro rear main seal, new pilot bearing, have the flywheel resurfaced or buy a new one and get yourself a new clutch.

It's already got new front and rear main seals in it actually. The motor was just pulled from a car and put into the one I got, so they put a new oil pump, gaskets, timing kit, etc on it while it was out.

I had no idea that stuff looked new, I've never had to replace a clutch before. I thought it all looked like crap from what I thought those parts should look like, but even local guys said it looks like it hadn't even been broken in yet.
