Manual Transmission - Anyone using Kevlar Pilot Bearing?

Zoom says it last 5 times longer. I can't really find anyone using it. Founds some threads where it doesn't fit other cars. Anyone?

Ive got one in my car , but it's only been in there 8 day and 440 miles.

So its a bushing and not a bearing? pictures?

Hmm any better than an actual bearing?

To early to say. When I replaced my pilot bearing, there was no bearings in it!

Any fitment problems? I found some threads where it didn't fit the input shaft but it wasn't ls forums.

I have the Bronze one..it was more appealing to me than the Kevlar one.

No fitment problems at all.:thumb:

How is the shifting now? From what I have been told, it will be harder to put in gear at high rpm.

:eek2:

I hope not.

I've been fairly easy on it(under 4k) since the clutch is new(LS7), and I also installed a Tick adj.master cylinder, and aluminum flywheel. In about another 100 miles I'll give it a good test.
