Spring seems to be not compressed above spring you can see shaft where I believe nut come from no other tras except what you see in pic

Output shaft

[Mighty Mouse]

Shaft? Ya damn right!!

[Widowmaker]

Its not clutch, i dont believe that nut could get out from pressure plate, you got an output shaft issue.

tried to get a pic (but i am not coordinated enough to hold phone mirror and flashlight at once) above the torsional damper spring there is a shaft pointing to the rear with threads but no nut so i believe the nut in pan goes there out put shaft that damper spring does not look "depressed at all" to me

[Widowmaker]

How about turning that nut over and showing us the peen mark. ??????

Hope I remember how to post pics

While the nut resembles the clutch basket nut I don't think its from up front if the mess is under the left rear section I believe you looking at the plates and nut from the helical gear on the transmission output shaft. It meshes with the torsioanl damper drive.
let me look on my phone and see if I have any pictures both my laptops shit the bed. Damn windows XP and the Vista units I gues they don't last for ever.

Ok so far I found this and zoomed in on the nut I was refering to. Of course there is washers. And the thrust would force the shaft forward. Bet the helical gears worn you could see that if you can get under the left rear corner of the sump area. Right above the sump screen.

And here is another photo of the helical output gear that meshes torsional damper shaft gear.

you are probably right threads shaft with threads missing nut are pointing to the rear right above torsional spring by the way how you doing last i read on you were having health trouble,I know that covid damn near killed me a little while ago care to take a rebuild on youre hands really dont know anybody else thats been in out of these motors like you and a `few others
