what that is is your release bearing, i had the same thing go, you have to do all the work of changing a clutch minus removing the clutch, it's a ***** , and prompted me to rebuiled my enging, it might do the same for you, seeing as the engine is out, unless you have a suport to hold the engine while the trans is out, but then axels have to come out. all depends on which way you want to go
