Bingo! The hub is sticking on the trans main shaft bearing retainer!

Thank you all for your help, but I guess the bearing is just going to spin and "go with the flow" for now. I wish we had more mechanics/club members down here.

Thank you all for the suggestions, tips, hints and support. If anything changes I will continue to update.

I'm surprised....Does the new coil spring on the pedal at least bring the pedal all the way up, or do you still need to pull it by hand?

There might be several things going on here....
