Pilot bushing/ input shaft gap
Hello y’all, so I have been fighting with my c5 for a while now. I just put in a new pilot bushing to replace the pilot needle bearing. I also had the input shaft remachined because it got eaten up. the machine shop remachined it to the same specs it was originally at. I know these bushings can shrink some so I had them mill/machine off half a millimeter. It goes in and out fine but there is a little space between the input shaft and the bushing now. Do y’all think this could cause a detrimental rattle? There isn’t hardly any free play at all, just like 1/4 to 1/2 a millimeter. Thank you for y’all’s time!!!!!
