The Acura Integra Pilot Bearing is located in the crankshaft or flywheel with the primary purpose of keeping the input shaft of the transmission in perfect alignment as it spins. By reducing friction between the clutch driven input shaft and the engine crank, the Pilot Bearing allows power to flow easily and eliminates wear that can make gear changes grind. Early Acura sport compacts sometimes applied a sintered bronze pilot bushing that functions as a simple bearing, but later generations of Integra vehicles upgraded to a needle style Pilot Bearing with tiny rollers that have less drag and can accommodate higher speeds. Both styles fit the same location, but the bushing rides on an oil film whereas the roller based Pilot Bearing rolls on precision races, so the latter stays cooler and lasts longer under spirited driving. When the Pilot Bearing starts to fail, drivers may hear squeals, feel vibration in the shifter, or have difficulty slipping the lever into first, as the input shaft no longer turns freely. Keeping this small part healthy keeps the clutch assembly as well as the finely meshed gears that make every Integra run sharply, and replacing it during clutch service is cheap insurance for any Acura enthusiast.
