Improper Pilot Bushing Installation - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Here's a textbook example of improper pilot bushing installation and the damage it causes. The oilite bronze bushing was not set to correct depth and was contaminated with grease. Not only was the pilot bushing shot, the input shaft tip is destroyed. Significant vibration upon acceleration from 1500 rpm felt in shifter as well as the floor. Flywheel (Ram Aluminum) was also damaged (now resurfaced and balanced) along with the throwout bearing (rebuilt).

The input shaft was continuously riding on the face of the pilot bushing!IMG_20181202_070651.jpg IMG_20181129_183809.jpg IMG_20181129_183649.jpg IMG_20181130_091752184.jpeg
