Question Help Clutch Release Bearing

Hi Everyone. I come to ask for help. My transmission went south more like to hell. So i decide to do it myself since I have all the tools except a car lift but car jack did the trick.

I dropped everything that is supposed to. Today I finally removed the transmission. I know I had to get home one way or another. I couldn't stop till i get to my exit. so look the picture below and tell me how bad it looks and how bad is to replace that part if needed ( It does needed lol )
what is the name of that rod messed up ROD because i can't find it anywhere.

That looks like the remains of your input shaft bearing. It should slip right off, unless the inner race has welded itself to the input shaft.

On second look, the copper coloured flat disc is what's left of your throw-out bearing. I suppose the mangled race is as well. Yes it needs to be replaced, it's completely destroyed.

[edit] just realized that's not a race, that's the actual input shaft sleeve. I think that comes with the input shaft bearing cover? You may want to look for a new trans. Replacing the input shaft cover shouldn't be hard, but I'm not sure about adding preload to the bearing before you close it up, so I'd just as soon play it safe and get an undamaged trans. Taking it out again for input bearing replacement will suck.

Can you write in sentences? Super hard to make sense of what you're saying.

The part in red is your input shaft bearing cover. The part in yellow is what the throw-out bearing sits on.

^^That’s pretty hard to mess up, but nothing surprises on here any more.

Are you sure it’s bled properly? How does the pedal feel and react?

The hydraulics are the most likely.
The clutch in this car is a PIA to bleed.... one of the worst that I have ever had to deal with. Not sure why.... but they are best bled with a pressure bleeder.
make sure you keep the reservoir topped off FULL... it's hard to tell if the clutch part has fluid in it when the plastic gets old

Did you check the clutch push rod to make sure there isn't a lot of free play... usually if there is there is something wrong with the mechanical part.... but it can be adjusted for some makeup
