Do our 3gees have a pilot bearing? Seems like a straightforward question, yet the FSM, my haynes manual and this forum have failed to give me a straight answer.

I ask because I'm in the middle of a AT to MT swap and would like to know if I'm missing a part before I toss my 5 speed in.

There is no pilot bearing on any of the A series engines.

Haha! Our input shafts are supported by 2 bearings inside the tranny. We don't need pilot bearings to fail, wiping out our gear teeth. We have 5th gear that blows up automatically instead.

lol nice. Just about every honda flywheel ive seen has a spot for a pilot bearing but i dont believe ive ever actually seen one from the factory with one, dont worry about it.
