Yup, I just got this done myself. Removed clutch pushrod
and small bits of bearing all over the place :(. The
cover has been machined and a replacement 5speed bearing is
on it's way.

| Ken, You've gotta' get the hole for the throwout bearing enlarged to 22mm, and it has to be smooth. The original ones were 20mm and were a ball bearing, instead of the later roller style bearing. Personally, I would call Mark at Moto Guzzi Classics and see what he has around as far as parts go, as the Guzzi prices for the new stuff are outlandish (ask me how I know). Joe Eish had some four speed covers that were re-machined and could be swapped for your original and some cash. If not, any good machinist should be able to open the hole up to 22mm for you.
