Default HELP!! Broken Pieces=SUCK!!!

On the highway my car quit allowing me to put it into gear and its been making a slight rattling sound for at least 2 months. So I pull it off, park it at a gas station and then get it towed home.
I then put it on some jack stands, took off the slave cylinder and this is what fell out. Can someone identify these pieces? HELP!!!

Thanks,
Cody

An LT1 T56? or an LS1-T56? From the slave description I'd guess LT1 but guessing sux..

Looks like you have a pilot bearing, what looks like an LS1 slave bolt, and case parts I can't ID with out better pics..

Can you take pics of the front of the T56 where the input shaft is, the back of the crank where the pilot sits, and those pieces at different angles?

To be honest I'm not exactly sure how the clutch fork is put together. I'm thinking this might be a bearing that goes in between the two pieces that make up the fork. I'm just hoping that my tranny is'nt shot.

LT1???

There's no roller bearings like that except for the pilot, and your's is too small to be a pilot. Could be a Pressure-plate piece or a starter piece, but nothing comes to mind from the pictures.

Pretty sure the chunks and the bearing are from your starter.

The bolt may have come from the clutch (Do you have an aftermarket clutch?) or somewhere, and it actually grenaded the starter nose..

The LT1 clutch fork is one piece, and the pivot is solid.

It's the pilot bearing and the 'socket'(for lack of a better word) that it taps into behind the crankshaft.

That is definitely the nose of the starter and the bearing that goes in it. It is not the pilot bearing. The bolt loots like a rear seal housing bolt.

It's the pilot bearing and the nose cone off the starter. The bolt is from the clutch. Looks like you torched your clutch which in the pilot bearing took a ****. The only true way to tell is to drop the trans bud.
