Pilot Bearing
I was getting a slight vibration when i was driving in all gears. I can feel the vibration more in 4th gear of my Tremec 3550. The performance place said it could be the pilot bearing because 4th gear is actually the input shaft. So anyways i asked him how you could tell if you need a new one? He said lets look at the old T-5 that i broke 2nd gear. Which he had posession of. We looked at it and there was a wear and tear on the input shaft. So i went a bought a new pilot bearing yesterday. Now i am done taking out the transmission and clutch, and i find something very odd.......there is no pilot bearing in there!!!! I guess it never had one installed. I started to laugh... But now i am wondering what are the main uses for the bearing to just supply some support to the transmission or something more? If anyone can help please.
Thanx
