I thought they wee gonna give me a pilot bearing with the needle bearings inside of it and all that. What I got was a brass “bushing” is this supposed to be better than a pilot bearing? Or should I go and get a new pilot bearing?

Well I put that piece in already and I’m sure as hell not going to take it back out! One question though. Last year when I put the stock clutch in the tranny slipped right onto the dowel mounting pins and I bolted it together, This year with the SPEC there was about 1/2" or so space that I had to bolt it _shut_. I checked the inspection port and the throwout bearing was pressing agaisnt the teeth of the pressure plate. I’m guessing I had to bolt it shut because it’s a stonger perssure plate? Its a stage 2 if that helps at all.
