During inspection, our specialist tech found wear on the transmission input shaft, which is causing excessive play at the pilot bearing. While the input shaft itself may still rotate, this wear prevents the pilot bearing from supporting the shaft correctly — leading to movement where there should be none.💡 Why this is important:The pilot bearing is designed to keep the input shaft perfectly centered. When the shaft is worn, the bearing can’t do its job properly, allowing vibration and misalignm
