Clutch questions

I'm in the process of removing my street twin to find out why it all of a sudden wouldn't fully disengage and then started ticking really bad. I took a few pictures while I was under there.

Bushing (http://pws.chartermi.net/~cbeebe/Pictures/bushing.JPG)

First off I don't think that I should have that much oil on the inside of my bellhousing. Secondly is that the pilot bushing in the center of the clutch, and is it supposed to be loose and move around in the fingers? And lastly by looking at the bushing picture it shows that it is pretty wore out, where can I purchase a new one? My next step it to remove the clutch and flywheel and check the rear main seal retainer. Is there anything else I should look for?

Okay, after doing some research I understand that the throw out bearing is in the center of the pressure plate fingers. Is it supposed to move around? Where can I get a new one? Do I have to order it from McLeod?

Yeah, that is the TO bearing on the PP. It is supposed to have some play to it. I am pretty sure that there is only one design for that TO bearing, so you could get it from McLeod, the dealer, or AutoZone, etc. Call McLeod's tech line just to be sure. I've spoken with them before. They are extremely knowledgeable and nice. And no, you should not have that much oil in the bellhousing. Looks like you had an oil leak and it killed your clutch. You can salvage the flywheel/pressure plate but the discs are most likely toast, since they've probably become saturated with oil. Check the back of your intake manifold and the rear main seal, also the oil pan gasket. Also check your pilot bushing when you remove the flywheel, it looks like your input shaft was slightly mal-aligned. Sorry about your luck :(

ps - SWEET lookin' car :cool:
