Did a five speed swap less than a week ago, pulled everything back off and found this.

Any ideas?

an auto tranny has a longer pilot bushing than the manual tranny pilot bushing. that may be the cause

did you change it out when you went from auto to manual, if not thats why...

timlush · 04-21-2009, 09:30 AM

Yeah. I removed the auto one and put the manual one in.

You did the swap on KA, right?
Believe it or not, there are two different versions of pilot bushings. I didn't it believe it first, but it's true. I wonder if that caused your problem or not.

Anyone? It's back together and when I decelerate in gear, it makes a terrible rubbing type of noise coming from the tranny. I'm thinking maybe the input shaft has too much play in it possibly? It seemed to have very little play when I checked it but under load maybe it is worse?

Did you soak the pilot bushing in oil before you installed it?
