The last two pilot bushings I have bought from napa have not fit my 30A input shaft, or of my clutch alignment tool (which I have used on several other pilot bushing installs)
They all measure around .610” ID, and the trans input shaft is around .615” OD.
Last time I “fit” the bushing by hammering a spare trans input shaft into it. That worked well and I had no problems, but I scrapped the spare input shaft recently. This time I am using a .616” reamer, turning by hand.
Have you ever seen this? I keep thinking I am screwing them up during install. I always forget to check if they fit prior to install, I just jam them in and then find they are too small.
My install procedure is coat with grease, lightly tap into crank with 15mm socket.
