Would no pilot bearing cause problems?

previous actions of my car were, HUGE chatter in reverse, and light chatter in 1st, 2nd gear.

If the bearing has a chance of being worn I don't want it in there.
A missing pilot bearing or bushing will cause a severe clutch chatter.

well right before I took the old bushing out, I compared the play in the old bushing to the new one with the alignment tool and I was amazed. The old one was soo worn and was probably the culprit to my HORRIBLE clutch chatter. Reverse was virtually unusable. Thanks again guys. I got the new one in the and all set ready for the tranny to be put in place !

Welp, I got the trans in and mounted !!!

It was a little snug. but tightening each bolt a little and moving to another bolt helped to get it right in. Now On the the Dredded C-Beam again. Thanks guys !
