Picture this: you're merging onto the highway, foot off the clutch, and everything engages smooth as butter—no grind, no hesitation. That's the reliability this GM Genuine Parts CT1078 Clutch Pilot Bearing brings back to your manual transmission setup. If you've noticed vague shifts or that subtle vibration hinting at wear, it's likely time to swap in this OEM-quality piece.
In the heart of your flywheel, on the crankshaft flange, the clutch pilot bearing (or bushing) cradles the end of the transmission input shaft. When the clutch disengages, it keeps everything aligned and spinning true. Over miles, heat, and torque, these bearings wear out, leading to misalignment, noise during gear changes, and even premature clutch failure. It's a small part, but it punches above its weight in keeping your drivetrain happy.
This isn't some aftermarket guesswork—it's manufactured to General Motors' exact standards for your specific vehicle. Exact fit means no modifications, no clearance issues, just bolt-in confidence. Expect the same durability and service life as the factory original, handling daily commutes, weekend hauls, or spirited drives without flinching.
Key features include:
Install it yourself in under an hour with basic tools—remove the transmission, access the flywheel, and pop in the new bearing. Truck owners love how it quiets down gear engagement in heavy-duty pickups. Sports car enthusiasts appreciate the crisp shifts during autocross runs. Even if you're just keeping an older GM running strong, this bearing ensures reliable power transfer every time you press the pedal.
Don't let a failing pilot bearing throw your transmission out of whack. Grab this GM genuine part and feel the difference in every gear change. It's the smart fix for anyone serious about their ride's mechanical integrity.
