I rebuilt my entire motor and dropped it back in. Drove the car one day. The next day i notice a horrible grinding sound when the clutch is pushed in. (new luk clutch and pp. ) so i changed my master and slave. Nothing. So i pulled the tranny out and found this

So i removed that piece. It was .6 inchs long and made of a HARD metal. But behind that theres somthing else. Wtf is this?

the clutch kit should have came with a brass pilot bushing. if you still have it, press it into the crankshaft. make sure its flushed with the lip of the crank.
