Found a video of it, and a post of what people thought it could be. one guy said that the pilot bearing makes a whining noise when the clutch is pressed down, wich put my V1 to shame. mine didnt break apart like this guys did. the bearing just siezed and i turned the car off and coasted home(I was pretty close)

YouTube - Taylor's Clutch

If its going to be apart mine aswell upgrade and save some time down the road ;p thats what most people do anyways. so im replacing everything.

seems like those needle bearings are always causing issues for folks. I like the 4 cyl T5 adapter bearings because they are ball bearings. I wish they could make the same for V8 applications.
