Pilot Bushing Vs. Bearing

I'm getting ready to swap a t-56 into my '97 Formula.

Which would be better to get, a pilot bushing or Bearing?

I use a bearing, which is what stock comes with.

Really? I was under the impression they came with a solid bushing.

I'm probably going to order a bearing from summit then.

Good luck with the setup, dont let the pedals swap get you down.

Thanks, I'm actually more concerned with drilling the hole for the master cyl., and cutting the hole for the shifter than anything else.
I will be using this guide

Re: Pilot Bushing Vs. Bearing

I bought a pilot bushing... I think. Is it the metal piece that looks like a hollowed out cylinder?

Re: Pilot Bushing Vs. Bearing

Yep
Bushing= solid metal
Bearing= lots of small needle bearings.
