The Chevrolet Blazer Pilot Bearing is a bearing that helps center and spin the input shaft of the manual transmission, reducing friction and optimizing power flow. The Pilot Bearing is located at the end of the crankshaft and at times the flywheel. The Pilot Bearing works together with the rear case bearing to hold the shaft so that gears engage without grinding, noise, or excess heat. Across decades of Chevrolet Blazer manuals, you will find that there have been two styles, either a ball or roller type bearing and a bronze bushing style Pilot Bearing. They perform the same function but with a different approach. The ball or roller type uses rolling elements between the inner and outer races. Fitting the demands of shafts running at higher speeds and a mix of radial and axial loads is highly appropriate. The bushing style Pilot Bearing is made from solid bronze in the shape of a sleeve. It relies on a thin oil film and is simple and self-lubricating. However, it also allows for lighter loads. As drivers suspected would happen with the shifting unit wearing, chatter, vibration, and stubborn shifts were common. Misalignment of the system lets friction climb quickly. A careful examination of the scoring, roughness, or looseness will tell you whether you need a fresh Pilot Bearing to restore the precise support built into every Chevrolet transmission in a Blazer model.
