Throwout bearing. Pilot bearings going out are rare on these cars. At least in my experience.

throwout bearing definitely common due to poor adjustment of the clutch cable.
Agreed. Pilot bearings rarely go out. The only failures I've seen and experienced are from incorrect reinstallation of the transmission. The last time I had a shop work on my car, they drew the transmission into the bellhousing using the bolts. The input shaft was cocked in the pilot bearing and crushed it on its way in. I swapped out the pilot bearing in about 2 hours(first time dropping trans myself) on my own and vowed never to have a shop touch my car again. smdh
You probably won't notice a failed pilot bearing at idle. Mine caused a major vibration when decelerating from high rpm in 3rd and 4th gear. I didn't really notice it otherwise.
