I recently pulled my transmission because I still had clutch drag after having bleeding the system several times, changing clutch master and slave cylinders, 987 style clutch lever and all the bits and pressure plate.

This time I replaced the flywheel and disc even though both checked okay. Right as rain.

I observed the damaged pilot bearing on the old flywheel and just thought I'd pass along what I saw.

I have been supporting the engine with a large floor jack, which allows me to raise and lower the engine a bit to assure alignment with the transmission going back in.
