I'm leaning toward the throwout bearing.

Was the slave/throwout bearing used or new?

It was used... It was working on the other car... We did a direct swap from his to mine.

It really sounds like a throwout bearing to me.

Does it go into gear easily? Have you driven it for a few miles?

With the clutch pushed in while in gear on level ground, rev the motor. Does the car creep forward at all?
