Very sad - based on the OP in the thread he wasn't new to working underneath a car either. I have always had that same fear and will not get underneath a vehicle unless it's supported by jack stands and if there are tires on the ground chalks as well.
Lol i had to post an update. Take a good look at this picture..
Missing something? ;-)
I didnt realize the remanned engines didn't come with a pilot bearing installed, so i drove around without one on my stock clutch for around 1,000 miles. Thank fully the new clutch setup has not seen such a stupid mistake lol. Ordered one at the local dealer, will install tomorrow. That explains the vibration i was feeling lately haha

Nah.. you can do without it. lol
Silly question. How the hell did you get the alignment tool to stay in place in your pic without the pilot bearing to locate it?? lol
Very good question :lol:
I dont think theres any way that severe damage could have been done to the T56 from having no pilot bearing on the stock clutch? I mean the bell housing/transmission being bolted in place would hold the input shaft totally straight i assume? As far as the stock clutch and flywheel.. they are probably toast but it doesnt matter since im not re using either.
The input shaft is centered and located by the pilot bearing, I would assume that without one you would experience a vibration of some sort and premature input shaft bearing wear.
Would be fun to see how much the clutch disc potentially moved around without it in there
