Pilot Bearing Check

Pilot Bearing Check





1. Inspect the transmission input shaft pilot bearing:
- for misalignment and looseness in the crankshaft (gasoline engine) or the flywheel (diesel engine).
- needle rollers for scoring, discoloration, wear, broken rollers, and inadequate lubricant.
- seal for damage and lubricant leakage.
Install a new transmission input shaft pilot bearing if any of these conditions are present.
