Subject:Help Clutch Pilot Bearing question!
From:Gary McEachern
Date:Sat, 23 Oct 1999 11:52:36 EDT

I'm in the middle of replacing the clutch on my '87 GL. The Sachs Clutch kit
I bought from BusDepot came with a Pilot bearing that has a closed end. I
very foolishly decuded to replace the existing bearing which was a "through
hole" design. I installed it assuming it was the proper part (bad
assumption?). I'm having difficulty fully mating the tranny to the engine
and suspect the input shaft of the tranny may be bottoming on the back of
the new bearing.

Does anyone know if this style of bearing will work or do I need to
remove(sigh) and replace it with the open style bearing?

Gary
