General Discussion / Re: Pilot Bushing Installation Depth??

« on: November 20, 2006, 01:44:36 PM »

It is a 1967... purchased in 1979, before I started at Ford. Who can resist a first gen Camaro??

Yep, I work in an office developing Camaro killers and yet I own one!!

My next project car will be a Ford... a '32 hot rod.

Thanks for the help!

My old pilot bushing was the Chinese type as it does attract a magnet. Based on the color of it, it almost looks like it was made out of plain old steel.  Luckily, the bushing has at most 1000 miles on it and the input shaft looks fine. 

I ended buying a LUK replacement clutch/pp (based on your rec JohnZ - thanks!) and the pilot bushing that was included with the kit is the correct Oilite.

Here is a good one for you.... I jacked up my Camaro the end of June, removed the trans/clutch in August, and I am finally getting around to replacing it now because the snow is coming soon (Michigan) and my wife wants to park in the garage again. I am getting too lazy in my old age!!

1967 Camaro, SS350, 3 speed Man Trans

Does the pilot bushing (bronze) get installed flush with the crank surface around the hole  or should it be proud by Xmm???

Thanks!!

My severely shuddering clutch needs to be replaced and I was looking for a recommendation on the brand to use. My car is a 1967 SS350, with the 3 speed man trans, engine is all original/stock.

Please let me know what you selected and the rationale for your selection.

Thanks!

1) Any recommendations as to its value??
2) Any recommendations for an appraiser in South East Michigan??

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have one too... 1967 SS350, factory 3 speed with the column shift.  Previous owners installed a 3 spd Hurst shifter. I still have the original column, but the linkage is long gone.
