So I'm in the process of replacing my clutch after hearing some gnarly screeching and difficulty shifting gears.
I finally wrestled my transmission out and see that my pilot bearing (what's left of it) is all ground up. Next I see that my input shaft has a somewhat substantial groove where it rides on the pilot bearing. As you can imagine this made the transmission an absolute nightmare to get out.
Where do I go from here? Is it ok to put things back together or will that just cause the pilot bearing to fail much quicker? My assumption is that I need a new input shaft or it to be sleeved or a resurfacing or?
Let me know what you think. All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
