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.

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.
