Key Features:

• Material: 60/40 bronze, oil-impregnated
• Function: Supports the transmission input shaft and reduces friction and wear at the crankshaft pilot bore
• Warranty: 1-year limited warranty
• Unit of measure: Sold each
• UPC: 727993150252

Cross-References: Dorman 690-057, 690-057.1; National Seals FC66067.

Replacing the pilot bushing during a clutch job is good practice. A worn bushing can cause input shaft wobble, noise, and premature clutch wear. Pioneer has supplied clutch and driveline components to the automotive repair and remanufacturing markets since 1946.
