Re: possible clutch problem?

I strongly advise replacing the pilot bearing. I think they went to a bearing instead of a bushing sometime in the '80's. There's an attachment that goes on a slide hammer that makes the job very easy to pull in right out of the end of the crank. A bit of a wobble in the pilot shaft is okay. The pilot bearing is what supports the end of the shaft once it's all together. Get the longer bolts to use as guides like I recommended; it will make seating the trans to the block so much easier.
