Does the ACT clutch kit #NM1-HDMM include both a release bearing and (in most cases) a pilot bearing?

What's a pilot bearing?

Tkx!

 

Generally yes, but not always. the release bearing or Throw-out bearing is used to depress the diamphram springs on the clutch cover that move the clutch plate away from the flywheel. The Pilot bushing stabalizes the input shaft of the transmission, and goes in the end of the crankshaft.

 

Mine did, and I ordered from Phuong.

I bought from Pablo. Great transaction . . . great price (cheaper than all other sources that the org had heard of), shipment included pressure plate, friction material plate, both bearings, fast shipping, cheap shipping, no import fees. Shipping was next to nothing, got here in like 3-4 days.

BTW, ygm, re: nitrous.

 

How much & I do? Where'd you send it to?

 

that's who I got mine from as well, great guy. Search for jhans114

 

I sent the e-mail to your e-mail address on the msn messenger account. I can't remember, but it was like $30 US less after everything was done and said.

 

This is what I got in my kit:

 

That's exactly what I got in mine. All in a big box filled with the styrafoam bits.

 

Do you have the NTN bearing part #? Also .. what's the package in the little ziploc plastic bag to the left of the stickers?

BTW Chunger .. thanks! This pic is extremely helpful!

 

Can't help you with the bearing part #, but I can tell you the little ziploc bag holds the copper (it looks copper) bearing.

 

Yeah, that's the pilot bearing.

The pilot bearing that came with my ACT clutch was too small to accept the transmission primary shaft so I didn't use it. Anybody else have that experience?

 

Interesting ... what'd you end up using then? Your OEM bearing or an OEM replacement?

 

Didn't use nuthin'. My mechanic friend said it really wasn't necessary on cars with short primary shaft extensions like Maximas have.

 

And everything works ok?

 

Absolutely no problems since October when I installed it.
