Re: 1981 Jeep CJ5

New flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and pilot bearing installed this weekend. As I suspected, the pilot bearing was incorrect and oversized for three speed T150 transmission. The input shaft was probably wiggling around with the old one. Working on cleaning up the bell housing and waiting on gaskets to seal up the transmission after inspection. Had to make some 1/4” diameter shifter pivot pins as one was missing and the other pretty worn.
Blasted and painted the shield and inspection covers as well. Waiting on the correct skid plate and transmission mount to arrive as well. Started scrubbing the drive shafts for paint and installing new u joints.
