Not Ranked
Went to the shop yesterday morning and examined the pieces.
Clutch is fine, throwout bearing is not.
The clutch fork (maybe due to the misaligned slave push rod) was off the fulcrum and applying a side load as well to the throwout bearing, possibly resulting in only partial release of the disc.
So, the pilot bushing may not have been the culprit after all. Might have been a series of events leading to a slightly dragging clutch disc. Every time we replaced the pilot bushing, we replaced the t/o bearing too just for safety sake.
Putting it back together today with a new slave bracket so the rod is pushing straight. New pilot bearing and a new t/o bearing.
Will test and report in a few days.
