Thread: Quick Question

Ok I have just pressed in my pilot bushing, and now ganna bolt up the clutch. Is it normal for the Alignment Tool to be really snug in the new pilot bushing? It goes into it, but requires a little effort, nothing to bad. I have used this same tool once before. i am bolting up the same clutch i had used before the rebuild, but there was an old pilot bushing in the motor and it went in easy . i am just concerned that if the alignment tool is that snug, will stabbing the tranny be a nightmare?
And is it ok to be that snug around the tranny snout?
I assume everything is ok, and after a few miles the pilot bushing will get "worn in", but i want to make sure before i hurt something.

thanks fellas

Take the bushing out and try it on the trans before putting on the flywheel and clutch.

if you can get it in and out without hitting on it, it should be ok. most of the time they are air tight and that is what make them hard to get in and out. put some grease on it.
