  • What is a clutch pilot bearing?

    The pilot bearings use ball bearings, roller bearings, or needle bearings in their construction. The pilot bearing supports and centers the transmission input shaft and clutch disc. When the clutch is disengaged, the pilot bearing allows the flywheel to maintain engine RPM while the input shaft is slowing down and stopping.

  • Possible signs that a clutch pilot bearing is bad.

    Loud whining or grinding noises are more apparent when the engine and transmission are cold. Select the first gear and begin to release the clutch pedal. If a noise is heard at the point of the clutch taking up, then the pilot bearing is most likely the issue.
