    I bought a T5 from a 4 cylinder not knowing the pilot bushing was smaller than the three speed. The three speed input shaft is .673 and the 4 cyl 5 speed is .586. I need a conversion pilot bushing. Any ideas?

    I'm putting it behind a 6cyl 200. The OD is too small and too short.

    Take all of your measurements (OD, ID, length) to a machine shop and have them make one. It'll take them about 10 minutes on a lathe.

    Good deal, and it's a roller bearing instead of just a bushing. It's been awhile but I don't remember my Ford roller bearing having any seals.

    You don't really need a seal on both sides, just toward trans, what's in the crank cavity will stay there... Add some grease into crank, install done...
