Its nearly gone. Its not "broken" as in shattered in mutiple pieces. Its worn down and warping the flywheel. That is in turn causing uneven clamping of the clutch plate and all those fun parts. I've put 53k miles on it in a year, so its had a hard life. That was to be expected. I think the issue is technically the input shaft bearing, but I know enough to be dangerous. My mechanic buddy tells me what's wrong and lets me hold parts. I'm getting more knowledgeable by the day, but don't have the tools or workspace to do anything myself atm.
