Since the new transmission will require a special pilot bushing for the back of the AMC engine crank, this pilot bushing is
furnished with each bellhousing. It is very important that you properly install this new bushing in the back of the AMC crank.
These bushings are made of an oilite bronze material which DO NOT require any type of grease. If grease
is applied, this material will bond the input shaft to the bearing causing internal damage. We do recom-
mend soaking the bushing in motor oil before installing. Verifying the proper depth of the pilot bushing is critical in
order for the tip of the new transmission to achieve proper engagement. On some late AMC blocks, Chrysler used a 2-piece pilot
bearing assembly. On occasion, we’ve heard of our pilot bushing not fitting into the AMC crank. The outer steel sleeve on these
late model AMC blocks, which appears to be part of the crank, must be removed in order for our pilot bushing to fit.
