Thanks, guys. I'm considering a replacement motor to just get the car on the road, followed by a proper overhaul of my own motor, and wanted to investigate options and avoid nasty surprises
Just a Question. What would happen if you did not have a pilot bearing at all installed? I guess my question is what does it do? I know what it is and have one in my car just wondering WHY?
The pilot bearing supports the end of the input shaft. Without that, the long length of the input shaft could flex causing alignment issues with the clutch disk and probably break the shaft.
