Pilot bearing?

pdmac · 11-11-2009, 09:53 AM

I have a '91 turbo. There are three different pilot bearings listed for my car according to a clutch place I'm working with. Is there any way to tell what size I have without taking the clutch off the car? I was hoping to drive it until my stuff came in. Thanks!

None of them...

We don't use pilot bearings.

Maybe means throwout bearing??

No, I mean pilot bearings...if we don't use them, why do they come with the Exedy turbo clutch kit? I've seem some turbo clutch kits that have them and some that don't...

Because the manufacturers are stupid... We don't use them.

Well, in some strange way, that actually DOES make sense....

There's know pilot bearing on my two...Now there was two different throwout bearings listed that was no fun to find in any auto parts store....For me it was all made simple after I called the Toyota dealer...They got me the right bearing the same day I called....

Oh, I know, please ask me how I know, this was way before the MR2 and this site. I can tell you it involved light bulbs, and motor oil.

no piolt bearing for our trannys. only throw out bearings.
I knew some fool who bought a piolt bearing and stuck it in the engine. needless to say that was 3 hours of his life he would never get back.
