    how much play should there be between the tranny input shaft and the pilot bushing? right now I have about 1/16" up and down and side to side. maybe a little more. I bought a new clutch from quadratec and they sent a note along with the clutch that the pilot bushing was unavailable. :cry: so what should I do? is mine still good? :v6:

    Easy maintenance, just get one from your local napa and replace it. Its a cheap peace of mind. My useless opinion

    1/16" would be around .060" - and that's quite a lot of clearance for a running fit. I'd replace it.

    Around .003-.004" is the general clearance for these.

    Thank you Mike - I had always wondered what the actual number is.
