Pilot bearings and bushings serve as a guide and seat for the transmission input shaft during engagement and disengagement when the flywheel and pressure plate assembly turn at speeds different than the input shaft and disc assembly, the pilot bearing rotates.
Even though pilot bearings/bushings are only a small portion of the total cost of a typical clutch replacement, a new pilot should be included with each clutch replacement.

Problems caused by a worn or damaged pilot such as excessive noise, misalignment, and imbalance are not worth the labor cost to remove and replace the bell housing and transmission.

What’s more, these problems may eventually cause considerable damage that would require a complete clutch system replacement.

Our lineup of pilot bearings and bushings is comprised of only the highest quality products available.

All bushings are oil-impregnated and self-lubricating. All are made using a 100% sintered bronze compound, rather than the less expensive, lower quality, iron/bronze mix used by other suppliers. Additionally, we never utilize bearings made in developing countries like China or Romania, instead relying only on bearings produced by O.E. manufacturers like BCA, Koyo, Nachi, NSK and NTN.
