Reply to "transmission bronze oil lite pilot bushing"

What about the part that Dave provided that is readily available from anyone that sells Dorman products.

I really find it hard to believe that the input shaft bushings that have been working fine for years on other vehicles will damage a ZF input shaft.

Are people saying that the input shaft on the ZF is made of a soft material that is damaged by the small amount of iron that may be present in some pilot bushings.

The only time there is any movement between the pilot bushing and the input shaft is when the clutch is depressed. That amount of time is so small that I find this issue to be hard to believe.

Has anyone ever seen this as an issue in the real world?

I hear the same thing about not using roller bearing pilot shaft bushings because if it failed it would destroy the expensive input shaft. The only thing is, I have never seen one fail.

Seems like Dave has the easy answer...
