Default pilot bearing? throwout bearing?
what's the difference? are they the same thing?

seems like my pilot bronze bushing worked better than the needle bearings...

Pilot bearing is in the flywheel and the input shaft slides into it. The throwout bearing presses on the pressure plate and releases the clutch.

Pilot bearing is about 25 from a dealer. The slave is in the 100ish range and comes with a throw out bearing on it. Depends on when the noise occurs. Most often the noise comes from the throw out...

Does The Noise You Have Go Away When You Step On The Clutch. This Is Common With The Throwout Bearing Noise.
