Pilot Bushing

On a 93 with a getrag is the pilot bushing just a round cylinder or is it T shaped? NAPA has a cylindrical one and advance adapters has a T shaped one. Id like to get my parts here before tearing stuff down.

thanks

The OEM bushings have a T shaped shoulder on them and are made out of brass.

Many of the aftermarket companies sell cylindrical roller bearing style that I believe you need to modify your flywheel to accept.
The South Bend Clutch clutch and flywheel sets that I often install use the roller bearing that is pre installed in the flywheel that they send out.

The NAPA bushing is a just a bushing without the shoulder/hat on it. Not sure if that bushing is correct then.

NAPA = Not. Actual. Part. Ah?
That is not a shocker.

I am sure it is easier and cheaper to make them with out the shoulder.

I order South Bend Clutch set ups for my builds.
They come complete with a fresh flywheel, clutch, [roller bearing] pilot bushing, throw out bearing, new nuts and washers.
I have no complaints with their stuff and have their clutches in 4 of my Cummins trucks currently.
