Have a look at the 4th, 5th 6th and 7th pic at the top of this page.

::Sees the third picture:: "That's not so bad. I don't see what the problem is."

::Sees the fourth picture:: "Oh."

::Sees the fifth through eighth pictures:: "Oh, no. No. Nope."

Unless ball bearings fall out of the case when I pull the gearbox back, I'm not going anywhere near the throwout bearing. Thank you for opening my eyes, SafeAirOne.
