SilverSN95 is right...the pilot bearing aligns the input shaft to the crank. Without it you can get very bad wear patterns on the input shaft, input bearing, input race and the input gear/main gear mesh in the transmission.

How long were you driving it like this? I think you should open up the trans and look at it or have the shop do it. Not to mention that may have beat your crank bearings as well...

Whoever installed the transmission should have put a new pilot bearing in. It sounds like that shop did the install because they have your old T-5, right?

Whoever forgot to install it should be responsible for fixing it.

Good luck,

Rich D.
