That picture is looking at the throwout bearing. The pilot bearing is on the engine. Automatic cars do not have a pilot bearing so you need to purchase one and install it. I am going to be starting my 5 speed swap next week.
I still have a few more seals to buy but I am in no rush.
I have new shifter bushings, a UUC double shear shift rod, new input seal on the trans, output seal for the engine, output seal for the trans, shifter seal, trans mounts, new clutch master and slave cyl, new throwout bearing, new pilot bearing, new firewall grommet for the clutch line, new clutch, new pressure plate, and new driveshaft. I will have to go through my list and see if there are any other small items that I am overlooking as far as wear items being replaced.
Yoshi/shiboujin did an excellent job documenting his swap

5-speed Swap Questions
***Please Be Detailed & Specific In Answers, I am Specific Minded***
Car: 1986 325 w/ '88 325i Engine/Transmission Swap
Edit: Done for new issues, want to keep in the same thread.
Current Issue: I have a vibration around the center console area & I feel it may be the CSB. Now I was driving back from an event when this was happening & research has shown when the CSB go bad, you also have to replace u-joints as well. Vibration occurs at all speed & I didn't have it on the way up to the event, but I did on the way back. Any other areas I should look at?
This was all done from a auto ~ 5-speed swap.
Edit Edit: Issue resolved, and I am glad to be alive. I didn't torque down my wheel when I did the other 3.
