Loose Hole

Waiting for a new clutch kit to arrive so I can compare bushings.
just removed the current one
and it sure does seem very loose, but I'm no expert.
The clutch is being replaced for two reasons. One its far to heavy of a clutch just to drive around town and two it had so much
chatter that it was difficult too drive, my wife wants to drive but couldn't.

YouTube Link.

https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledg.../manual/np435/. Measure both of those and see what is out of spec. If its the pilot bearing, you should get multiples with the clutch kit. If its the input shaft, you can sleeve the tip for the pilot bearing. There is some measurements in here. That looked like a NP435 tranny in your vid, if not you can find a T18 on the same site.

thank you for that info, the shaft measures 17mm on the bullseye, the bushing 17.6 but my question is - is that normal is there supposed to be some play in it or is it supposed to be a perfect fit. I get the clutch kit on Monday

New kit arrived early today and the first thing I did was to spec out the new bushing. 17.1mm perfect fir for the 17mm input shaft.

If everything feels tight, maybe a PO just used the wrong one. Glad that will work for you.
