Pilot bearing

When I did fleet work for sara lee the bread trucks were all eather borg warner T-19 4-speeds or nv4500 5-speed's. Almost everyone of them that i changed a clutch in also needed an input shaft due to the roller bearing pilot bearing grenading & trashing the otherwise ok input shaft. Every time I made sure a bushing went back in. There were higher milage step van's with n/a 6.5 diesels & im sure those guys kept there foot on clutch @ stop light. No probloms aftrr that. So im a fan of bushings hands down. Rollers don't like any knd of misaligment bushing's are far more forgiving there.

Good real world info. Thamks.
