Re: Pilot Bearing options
Ordinarily we recommend a bushing too.....HOWEVER, if the main drive gear pilot (the front tip end that goes into the pilot bearing) is worn, a bushing can allow additional movement of the main drive gear. We're talking small amounts here, but the caged type roller bearing is not a precision fit in there. If the drive gear can move out of axial alignment, you could have a mild misalignment of the synchro teeth to the synchro sleeve as it shifts into high gear. Just food for thought.....
