I have no problem paying if it was indeed my fault, but don't want to dish out the cash if there is no possible way the throw out bearing could have done the damage.

When mine went the Machinist said the torque converter ballooned and took out the thrust bearing and the tranny guy said no way it was a bad crank shaft. No way to prove either one so I ate the costs. I just bought a balanced rotating assembly and installed it myself and have not had a problem since.
