<VV> TRANS. REBUILD PARTS AND PILOT BUSHING

[Silveyyevlis at aol.com]

Have fun rebuilding your transmission but remember this when you get to the  
pilot bushing:
 
Many people think that they are going to extend the life of the pilot  
bushing by smearing it with grease.  That is a definite NO NO.  Soak  the bushing in 
engine oil for 24 hours before installation. Grease seals off the  pores of 
the sintered powdered bronze so that any oil in the bronze can not get  out nor 
can any get in.  If you do not believe this call the engineering  dept or the 
service dept. of the division of the Chrysler Corp. that makes the  Oil-lite 
bushings.We learned this the hard way at Allison Gas Turbine Div. many  years 
ago.
