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.
