Input shaft chewed up. Now what?

So, I finally pulled my T56 trans to change my clutch, only to find the stock pilot bearing had destroyed itself and in turn, chewed up the end of the input shaft.

I still have to try to get the remains of the old bearing/bushing out of the crank, but I did try fitting the new roller pilot bearing on the shaft and there is some noticeable play. So obviously now the trans will not be going back in yet. It appears, when the transmission was replaced/rebuilt for the previous owner, they could not get the bellhousing off so they put it all back together will the old clutch setup. Even the throwout bearing looks strange and like it ate itself up.

Where should I take the transmission to have it checked out/fixed?
I'll try to post some pics up tomorrow.
