This is one of those 'depends who you talk to' scenarios. I had the 'oilite' pilot bushing in the GT5 and had hang up in 2nd and 3rd gears even after it had been rebuilt. Dennis Quella restripped the box and found nothing wrong, but he recommended changing to the needle roller pilot bearing (he uses the same in his race car).....problem solved.
