SKF Clutch Pilot Bushing P/N:B656
Keep the transmission input shaft centered and turning smoothly with the SKF Clutch Pilot Bushing / Needle Bearing B657. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1988-1998 Chevrolet C1500 (engine: All), the 1999-2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (V8-4.8L), the 1962-1975 Chevrolet Bel Air and the 1967-2002 Chevrolet Camaro. It also fits a long list of Buick, GMC and Pontiac models, 531 applications in all. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
SKF catalogs this part as a clutch pilot bushing and describes it as a needle bearing, so it is listed under both names. A pilot bearing supports the tip of the transmission input shaft where it meets the engine. This lets the shaft and the engine turn independently when the clutch is disengaged.
Signs this part may need replacing include a squeal, whine or grinding noise when the clutch pedal is pressed, vibration felt through the pedal, or difficulty shifting. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the problem first. If a worn pilot bearing is the cause, B657 replaces it. The listed applications use one per vehicle, and this listing is for one.
