Re: Transmission Pilot Bearing Availability?
Hello Jim,
Are you sure the OD is 1.355" and not 1.378"? To my knowledge, all bearings used in these trucks are of a metric size.
1.378" is 35mm
.985" is 25mm
.755" is about 19mm
I can find bronze bushings with a 35mm OD and 25mm ID. These can be easily machined to the right length.
For my 478 flywheel, it had a rather larger pilot bearing for a large truck trans. Since I went with the SM420 I made a pilot bearing conversion sleeve to accept a standard 6202 bearing, used on the 305 flywheel. That sleeve was pressed into the flywheel.
You're using the big truck trans in your pickup project?
