Hi all,
The trany is out while other work is being done and I have a few 
questions. I slid the pilot bushing over the transmission shaft & there 
is about .002-.003 movement. Is this acceptable. The bushing has less 
than 15,000 miles on it. The clutch pressure plate also has a slight 
grooving in the fingers due to the Land Cruiser T/O bearing. I have 
installed a new standard replacement bearing in place of the Toyota 
because of the grooving but I had no other problem with the bearing. The 
pressure plate also has about the same usage on it. I don't mind 
replacing the pilot bushing , that's rather inexpensive as long as I 
don't end up with the same clearance but the pressure plate is a more 
costly part. Should I risk not replacing the pressure plate ?
Thanks , as usual for the help.
