Dodge Challenger Pilot Bearing
The Pilot Bearing of the Dodge Challenger helps keep the manual transmission aligned with the engine crank so that the transmission's input shaft may spin freely. This promotes better flow of power from the engine to the transmission and crisp shifting. Positioned at the end of the crankshaft or in the flywheel hub, this compact support carries the forward tip of the transmission shaft. It assists in keeping the shaft in alignment and reduces friction as the clutch engages. The early and classic Dodge Challenger editions had a bronze Pilot Bearing bushing, which is a plain bearing that turns on oil held within the bushing itself. Newer or high output Dodge coupes use a needle or ball type Pilot Bearing whose rolling elements dissipate heat and tolerate greater shaft speed. The bushing style is ruggedly simple, while the rolling Pilot Bearing handles greater radial and axial loads, usually remaining quieter on hard launches, a fact all Challenger drivers will notice. A secure press fit in the crank or flywheel and a smooth bore are essential no matter the style applied. A dry or worn Pilot Bearing in any Dodge Challenger quickly leads to chatter, shaft vibration, and stiff gear changes.
