After getting my car put together. It was getting harder and harder to get into gear. I also was hearing a noise that sounded very similar to a throw-out bearing, which I have been hearing for a while. Well eventually I coulding get my car into gear at all. I thought it was the clutch. Like a leak or an air bubble. Well after hours of bleeding it I realize that isn't it. Then I thought the slave seal was shot. Well I took it to a shop and me and a buddy dropped the transmission. Much to my suprise the slave was working perfectly fine. But my buddy noticed that the pilot bearing was all messed up. The roller pins in the bearing were falling out. Apparently it got so bad the bearing seized. Causing the transmission to spin all the time with the crank. Well after a day of trying to get that heat welded bearing out, we had success. Everything was put together and the car is now working beautifully. I hope this helps someone out there that might be having a similiar problem. Later.
