    Default Pilot Bearing

    I got a new pilot bearing with my clutch kit. WHen I installed it, it wont turn. So I took it out again, and it turns when it isnt pressed into the flywheel. I put the old one in to compare, and it still turns while it is in the flywheel. Should I put the new one in because the force of the input shaft will turn in, or use the old one, becuase my finger can turn it? Out of the flywheel they both turn, obviously the new one is a little better.

    The new one will loosen up with use.
    What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
