I had trouble this week at home with my tranny not shifting and had to pull the whole thing apart because the slave cylinder wasn't the problem. Anyway the clutch was in good condition but the pilot bearing, all 1 inch diameter of it, came out in about 20 different pieces. Just letting people know that this job sucks for a $2.00 piece. :texas:

Yep, allways a *****. But would you be happier if you had to replace a $200 part?

i went ahead and replaced it anyway because I already had the stupid thing apart.

what's really fun is when the input shaft is rusted to the pilot bearing but you don't know it, then you finally realize when pulling the tranny that you're trying to pull the bearing, still stuck on the input shaft, through the clutch disk, or the clutch disk through the pressure plate. If this happens, a comealong and large cojones are the only solution.
