    Pilot bearing?

    Well, i was about to order a new pilot bearing for my car, just realized that the M50 and M20 are different. I am using the getrag 260 on the M50, so do i get the M50's pilot bearing or the M20's?

    well, the M50's is 15x32x10
    and the M20's is 12x32x10

    so i am assumming since i am using the getrag off the M20 i am going to want the smaller ID which would match up to the getrag shaft, is this correct?

          For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

              Use the pilot bearing to match the transmission, simple as that.
