How to Inspect and Install a Clutch Pilot Bearing on Subaru Outback?

The clutch pilot bearing is a needle roller-type bearing that is pressed into the rear of the crankshaft and does not require additional lubrication. To inspect the bearing, remove the transaxle and clutch components, then use a flashlight to check for excessive wear, scoring, dryness, roughness, and any other obvious damage. If any of these conditions are noted, replace the bearing with a special puller or slide hammer and internal puller attachment. To install the new bearing, lightly lubricate the outside surface with grease, then drive it into the recess with a bearing driver or socket. After installation, tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque specifications.

Subaru Outback Pilot Bearing

Subaru Outback Pilot Bearing supports the input shaft in the manual transmission, ensuring the shaft remains aligned with the engine crankshaft to allow smooth shaft rotation and optimum power flow into the gearbox. Situated at the end of the crankshaft or centrally on the flywheel, the Pilot Bearing (which is lubricated) serves as the shaft's front bearing support point while another bearing will carry the rear or back. Balls or rollers that sit in the Pilot Bearing roll over the polished inner race and outer race. This helps to limit the friction acting on the ball/roller. Furthermore, the design ensures that the ball/roller can accommodate any radial and axial load that may cause the component to go out of alignment. The Pilot Bearing keeps the heat and wear down that can rob power, helping to maintain the shifting quality and general drivability of the Outback drivetrain. Once this part is worn out it will create noise and vibration or make it hard to engage the gears which are all clear signs that the Outback input shaft is out of true. It is worthwhile to check the Subaru Pilot Bearing to ensure proper functioning of every manual transmission Subaru Outback.
