Needed - Pilot Bushing Part Number
 

GM Part Number for the bronze pilot bushing needed.
I've looked and can't find it so I'm hoping someone has it handy.

Thanks.

Here you go John, this is roller bearing type though: GM 14061685 :cheers: Factory one is 10125896

The clutch I got from Schubert had the Timken bearing in it. From what I've read, those are not to be used as they are intended for low RPM applications.

I'm not using the clutch disk either as I am installing the Fidanza flywheel.

Thanks Craig.

John,

Last night after replying to you post I happened to read my Corvette Enthusiast April issue and there was an article about clutches pertaining to older Corvettes and the tech from magazine (John Hinckley) stated that the guy should only use a 100% Oillite bronze bushing which won't attract a magnet and gave GM part # 3752487, #10125896, NAPA #BK-6151161 and Federal-Mogul #PB-656-HD as the correct known material (Oillite bronze). Now I am confused because I was going by ZF Doc's site as to which pilot bearing to use and it quoted the 14061685 roller bearing type.

I noticed my crank currently has the roller bearing design in it now and I know the clutch was replaced right before I bought it.:confused:

Just sent an email to Marc. I'll let you know what he says.

bill told me if i was going to do any drag racing at all to stay away from the roller bearing one . i believe he has a few extra of the one you need . he also says do not put any lube on the pilot bushing when installing the tranny.

I put a Roller bearing in my 90 when I had it apart. Can't convince me they are 'Not' good to use. I've used them for years in everything & anything, never had any problem's, ever. Do certain applications 'Need' one, maybe not, but they're not going to hurt. The Bronze Oillite is really good material though, wouldn't be afraid to use them either.

Here's a message I got from Marc regarding the bushing:

Re: Needed - Pilot Bushing Part Number
 

i would like to add one last thing if a roller bearing pilot does fail .the cost could be very dear . 682.10 for the input shaft 240 labor to install and the cost of a new clutch. also maybe blowing out the soft oil seal in the crank. its for that reason i err to the bushing . i mean no disrecpect to anyone just wanted to share the what ifs and the costs that could be related to use of one over the other . have a great day:hello:
