Pilot Bearing Issue!! NEED HELP FAST!!!
Pilot Bearing Issue!! NEED HELP FAST!!! Ok here is what I got. I am putting a LS2 engine in my car. with a LS1 t-56. I got a pilot bearing from gm. But I cannot get my tranni all the way in. It's about 1/2" to 1" from my bell housing. I put my bell housing on first and then I can turn the motor over by hand and the output shaft will spend. The pilot bearing is sitting flush with the back of the crank. Does that need to go in more? Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks
Thanks

You're input shaft is probably already lined up and already in the pilot bearing. That last 1/2-1" left is the slave resting on the forks of the pressure plate. Best bet is to go and get longer bolts and start tigtening down evenly. You'll only need 4. Once the tranny is flush with the bell housing, take them out and replace with the stock bolts.
Save yourself anymore time and just go get 4 longer bolts.

At first I was like WTF, mate? Then I did this and only putting light torque on all 8 bolts and went in a criss cross pattern with only turning each bolt 2 revolutions at a time and it fully eated in with no problems. I didn't have to crank down on the bolt either. I fought my tranny for 4 days trying to get it to go in the last 1/2 inch.
