Nice job . We did a clutch and gearbox change on a mk2,Escort rallycar . In 20 minutes on a 30 minute service . In pouring rain . All great fun . That was back in the 80s . No wonder my back hurts and my arms are falling off .

Well done, you achieved your one day fix. It was another good episode. Seeing the conclusion would be a nice touch. When I learned to drive, I was instructed not to ride the clutch. Clutch bearings were often graphite, and abuse wore them away, sometimes through the metalwork. Alternative, ball race versions replaced graphite bearings. Some, lasted for the life of the clutch, (though the ball races could become noisy), a few failed early. I wonder, was that one of the Friday-afternoon-bearings, destined for a short, exciting life? The failure was very messy for the bearing.

I bet that is the original release bearing. If it was the old carbon style it would have been replaced a few times by 135G miles. But they all go south at some point. Good reason to always replace the release bearing anytime you have the transmission removed.
