Problem finding correct pilot BUSHING
Problem finding correct pilot BUSHING Hi all,
I'm having a hard time sliding the trans back into place. I was told by Amber @ Six Speed Inc. to replace my pilot bearing with a pilot bushing from a 69 Camaro with a 4spd Muncie trans. Problem is, when I try to look it up through the local parts stores they want me to specifiy the engine. Now I understand that the Muncie was offered with a variety of different motors, both SBC and BBC.
Which one is going to work for me? Obviously not the BBC BUT I can't find what I need when using the 350 and 302...
Please help, anyone who has replaced their pilot bearing for a bushing, which part number did you use and which parts store? Nappa/vatozone/checker?
Thanks!

The only real advantage I've ever seen from using a bronze bushing over a roller bearing is the bushing tends to wear before the tip of the input shaft does . In a roller bearing application , the input usually goes down when the bearing does . Typically a roller bearing will last 3-4 times longer than a bronze one will .

Verdad Gallardo Thank you, I did not respond because I was busy at work. Didn't really have a lot of time to mess around.
No sir, I appreciate what you said. Thanks for the info. Now if only I can get a part number.
I can't say if I agree or disagree? This will be my first pilot bushing as I've replaced 3 or 4 roller bearings so far.
Not only that but the fact that I always seem to have
trouble getting the input shaft to slide in.
I can get it lined up no problem but it always sticks a little. There is enough room to get some bolts started but thats a big no no IMHO.
So I was told by Amber @ Six Speed Inc. that it would help the input shaft slide in easier AND offer superior longevity.
