Default Pilot Bearing

Has the Pilot Bearing in the 5.0 changed? Say from 83 to 90 etc.

Okay thank you. So i pulled the transmission to swap in a new one and left the bell housing up with the clutch and everything assembled. Having trouble now I can only get my clutch alignment tool in a little bit and then nothing. Anyway to get everything lined up so I can slide in the transmission with out taking off the bell housing?

get the alignment tool in place and have someone push the clutch pedal....it seems to help get everything lined up. also works when you go to bolt the tranny back up.

Also double check the splines on the clutch. IF they are screwed up a little it can keep them from mating together.
