Clutch Issues- Pilot Bearing
About a mouth ago I took my car to VIR and on the way home the clutch started acting up( it would not release). I played with the adjustment which helped but did not solve the problem. I have a 66 with a TKO 600. It has been in the car 3 years. I put the car in the shop and they got the clutch out yesterday. The clutch was fine, the pilot bearing is bad. The pilot shaft on the trans is not damaged so I was lucky there. I haven't seen it yet. Earlier in the week on Sky65's advice, I called Nathan at Auto Gear and ordered one of his oil impregnated pilot bushings. The alignment was checked prior to the 5 speed install and it was perfect. So a new Luk clutch will be going in next week after my removable cross member is finished.
