I just got home so I'll pull the flywheel in a little while. Have a couple chores to do first.

I see that I can't upload pictures on here. Are there any sites that will host pictures these days that you can link to?

If the ring gear is pulled off its seat on the flywheel that sure would explain a lot...and it would certainly make me feel better if it's only the flywheel and not the crank. There was a clicking/scraping sound with the clutch pressed, but then yesterday after a brief stop I started it back up and it started scraping constantly...clutch in or out.

Anyway, I'll let you know what I found out after I pull the flywheel. Thanks all for the comments.
