I have a JDM B18C and while I was attempting to put the new clutch and flywheel on I noticed that the pilot bearing that came with the Exedy clutch kit wouldn't fit in the opening on the end of the crankshaft. However, Carquest handed me the same bearing when I asked for one about an hour later. So I started thinking, is the JDM crankshaft different than the USDM version? From the end of the JDM one, it appears it takes a bushing and NOT a bearing for the input shaft. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, where can I get the correct busing?

 

Anyone?

 

NEVER had this problem before.... You sure they gave you the correct flywheel/pilot bearing?? Good Luck

 

I think I got figured out.
