J., hope you got my questions from the other forum. Stopped in today to see what progress they made they had it all apart, the pilot bearing and the throw out bearing were still working, the pilot bearing was turning on the shaft and had worn some of the facing off the shaft, it was also turning in the fly wheel. The throwout bearing was loose and rattly but still had grease in it, I think it may be growling at the higher r.p.m.'s but not at the lower ones. The p.t.o. shaft looked like new so there is no wear there. Also the clutch itself was all together, and it didn't look to bad the mechanic said he would run it awhile although I'm out of adjustment on my rod. We decided to have the clutch rebuilt and put new bearings in along with taking the front plate off of the over/under to check the input shaft bearing there. Don't you think that  that bearing would howl all the time if going out? All your help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
