The pilot and throwout bearings are two different things. the pilot bearing is pressed into the end of the crankshaft and the throwout bearing slides on the input shaft when you push the clutch to disengage the clutch. You WILL need to have both replaced. You SHOULD replace your quadrant and cable with new ones. the stock plastic quadrant and pawl have a nasty habbit of breaking and so does the stock cable. summit sells an aluminum quadrant and an adjustable cable together for under 100$. Replacing these parts will save you a headache in the long run. I dont know why the shop that does your clutch shouldnt get the bearings for you. They are avalible at most auto parts stores.
I wish you lived in Oklahoma i would do it for you for 100$ + parts.
