GMC Canyon Pilot Bearing
The GMC Canyon Pilot Bearing helps keep the manual transmission input shaft perfectly centered in the crankshaft or flywheel so engine torque slides smoothly into the gearbox. By allowing the shaft to rotate on smooth balls, rollers, or a film of bronze bush rather than creating metal to metal contact, the Pilot Bearing helps to reduce friction, limit heat, and prevent gear clash on gearshift. Over the years, GMC incorporated two predominant designs into this compact pickup: a true bearing that uses small balls or rollers tucked between inner and outer races and a sintered bronze bushing that is lubricated by impregnated oil. The rolling style effectively manages higher combined radial and axial loads, making it ideal for conditions when drivers frequently tow or repeatedly rev the engine high. The bushing style, on the other hand, offers quiet dependable service. This is due to its porous bronze continually feeding lubricant to the shaft. Every Pilot Bearing, no matter what type, may be small but mighty. A worn Pilot Bearing announces itself with growls, vibration, and a refusal of gears to engage. In all cases, it tells the Canyon owner that precise alignment has been lost. The replacement of the Pilot Bearing restores the crisp shift feel that GMC engineers engineered into every Canyon transmission, demonstrating the Pilot Bearing's importance.

GMC Canyon Pilot Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the purpose of the clutch pilot bearing and how should it be inspected and replaced on GMC Canyon?A:The clutch pilot bearing is pressed into the rear of the crankshaft. It is greased at the factory and does not require additional lubrication. Its primary purpose is to support the front of the transmission input shaft. The pilot bearing should be inspected whenever the clutch components are removed from the engine. Due to its inaccessibility, if you are in doubt as to its condition, replace it with a new one. If the engine has been removed from the vehicle, disregard the following steps that do not apply. Remove the transmission. Remove the clutch components and the flywheel. Inspect for any excessive wear, scoring, lack of grease, dryness or obvious damage. If any of these conditions are noted, the bearing should be replaced. A flashlight will be helpful to direct light into the recess. Removal can be accomplished with a slide hammer fitted with a puller attachment, which are available at most auto parts stores or equipment rental yards. To install the new bearing, lightly lubricate the outside surface with multi-purpose grease, then drive it into the recess. A socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing can be used. Drive it in to a depth of 0.457-inch. Be careful not to let the bearing become cocked in the bore. Install the clutch components, transmission and all other components removed previously, tightening all fasteners properly.
