Pilot bearing FROZE on input shaft... *HUGE PICS*
I put my new motor in my 240sx (KA) and after a couple hundred miles the clutch stopped engaging and everything just basically was completely fucked.
I decided to drop the tranny only to find it would not come off.. like any more than a half inch. I even tried using a comealong with a chain hooked from my tow hook to the tranny. Still nothing
Finally I said ---- it and busted out the sawzall and oxy acetalyene and went to town.
When I finally got the tranny out, I found that it was the pilot bearing frozen on the input shaft.
Looking back, I don't think I put grease on the end of the input shaft.. could that have done it? I just really don't want to repeat this problem again because trannys aren't that cheap.
