Engine Crank to Transmission Pilot Bushings. Many manual transmissions will be married to stock as well as conversion engines, and a custom pilot bushing will be required in many instances. Predominately, these bushings are bronze alloys are impregnated with oil to arbor the pilot tip of a transmission input shaft. Some less common versions may use greased needle roller bearings (there is no real overall advantage to either style). Pilot bushings provide precise, lubricated alignment while the clutch disc is released. Failure to use the proper pilot bushing can severely damage the transmission. For more details, read our informative Guide to Clutches, Linkages & Bellhousings.
To install: 1) Align the pilot bushing with crank hole. 2) Start it with light taps from a plastic faced mallet or other small dead blow type hammer. Ok, I have concluded after taking the 4sp transmission 'out and in' twice and installing 2 different pilot bushings that this job is a real pain.
