What is a pilot bushing and why is it important?

A pilot bushing sits between the crankshaft and the transmission input shaft. Its main job is to support the end of the transmission input shaft and keep it properly aligned with the crankshaft, which is essential for smooth clutch engagement and shifting.

What does 'Bronze Oilite' mean for this bushing?

Bronze Oilite is a type of porous bronze material that is impregnated with lubricant. This means the bushing can self-lubricate, reducing wear and friction over time, and helping to ensure smooth operation without needing constant external lubrication.

What are the dimensions of this pilot bushing?

This pilot bushing has an outer diameter of 1.380 inches and an inner diameter of .592 inches. These dimensions are specific to the Pontiac and SB Ford applications it is designed to fit.
