Bronze pilot bushing for TKO 600
I was reading in my TKO transmission installation manual many months after I put my engine in my car and the book says : We don NOT recommend using a roller type pilot bearing,as the rollers are harder material than the input, and
can damage the pilot surface of the shaft. OOPS ! Read the instructions for once lol......Redneck Charly told me : "Yeah it will eat into your output shaft in about a 100,000 plus miles". I know a lot of Fords came OEM with the roller bearing pilots.....So here is the question , Should I pull the tranny and install a bronze pilot bushing and ditch the late model roller bearing ? %/ |
If that roller bearing seizes it would shurly ruin the end of the input shaft. The bronze bushing is only moving at a different speed from the transmission input shaft when the clutchis being released. That should be short periods like changing gears and sitting at a stop sign or so-on. If I encounter a stop light at the begining I shift into neutral and let the clutch out more so to releive the throw out bearing.

I wouldn't go through the whole ordeal of yanking a trans/bell/flywheel just to change a pilot bushing. With as many miles that are put on these cars compared to daily drivers, it should last.
