Well I picked up the new disc pressure plate and release bearing and installed them with a new pilot shaft bearing. The old disc had tons of meat left on it, in fact it was only 1.5mm skinnier then the new disc. I did notice that the wavy spring between the friction material was coming apart, so a good thing that I changed it.

The bad news is that the release bearing was the wrong one and will not allow full engagement of the clutch, so the tranny has to come out again.
