I could buy the pilot bearing.Bad news it's a nasty job for a $3
bearing.It's located behine the fly wheel. Good news is that if it is
bad there are tale tale signs on the tip of the trans shaft.Also you can
feel the bearing with out removing the fly wheel.Any other bearing in
the trans and your going to have noise and or shifting problems.  Marcus
