The fork is broken I am sure as it's very loose on the inside. I need to remove the transmission to change the clutch. Any instructions would be great.

Do you know what they mean by this: about the retainer if worn replace with this clutch set which includes an oversized one or the chat about kit contains bearing retainer repair sleeve. All I know is the fork, pilot bearing, throw out bearing, clutch plates when it comes to a clutch.

Not sure what they mean by the retainer. It could be the clutch fork retainer clip. Usually that comes with new component.

Just got it out, jeez, never seen a broken bearing stuck in the pressure plate like this before. Is there a rear seal behind the flywheel that I can change?

Can you find out if this car has a clutch release bearing clip (which I don't know what it does) or just a clutch spring?

Do you think this will affect anything? There was rubbing on the shaft not sure if it is supposed to have that groove, but most of the shavings came from the bearing itself.

This could be an issue, might create unnecessary movement or wiggle room. Which can create other problems.

Have you tried to slide on the bearing and see if it has any free play?

Unfortunately, our catalog does not provide a part number for just the case. Which could mean that it may or may not be available by itself.
One thing you can try is to call your local dealer and provide them with the VIN, they will be able to provide you with a part number if is indeed available by itself.

Yes, I got a transmission and a whole kit, car has decent miles and new tires and needs nothing else, so it's worth it.

Well, it's nothing but trouble, put the transmission and clutch in, all good for a bit drive it around the dead-end road by my home all good, next day went to do the same thing and then I lost everything, you can put the gear in all gears but I get nothing like it's in neutral, release foot of clutch and nothing happens or changes. I looked at the fork and it was in place. Pressing the clutch moves the slave cylinder pin and pushes on fork.

So, if it just lost selection of any gears, I wonder if there is something that broke internally.
Did it make any noise before failing?
