Are you aware that there are different pilot bushings depending on whether the crank was an original stick crank or not? NAPA sells the proper one for an unfinished crank. Trying to put a standard one in an unfinished crank will crush it. Go ahead, ask me how I know that.

The roller bearing is from a Dakota truck if you want to try that route. It fits in the register for the torque converter, so it doesn't matter if the crank is finished or not.

IF the crank is unfinished you will have to trim the end of the pilot off. That's a lot easier than trying to drill the crank with the motor in the car.

Cut about 1/8 inch off the transmission input shaft where it goes into the pilot. It is bottoming out in the crankshaft and binding up.




We had to do this on a hemi road runner. The crank was not drilled deep enough. The clutch was growling when in gear. We thought it was a junk throwout bearing so we replaced it with a different brand and had the same growl. After measuring we found the new crank was not drilled deep enough so it had to much pressure on the input shaft bearing.

did it harm the input bearing?

well shes all back together and working great! but not without a ton of what the f--ks. i took a members advise and fit the trans without the plate disc and wheel and it fit perfect. now get this... when it was out i fit the disc on the splines and it fit great. i installed the clutch and when i installed the trans it would not go in. after a couple days not sleeping and thinking what the fffff. it just made no sense. then i looked at the clutch alignment tool.... it said "made in china". as we know the disc needs to be perfect for everything to slip in perfect. so what i did was loosen the plate bolts so the disc was free and with the trans in place and after the bolts were loose she slide right in. you guys helped alot and one thing i can say to help you all is....stay away from the chinese crap
