the pilot bearing...

brainstorming how this manual transmission and clutch all work together so to possibly pinpoint the cause of this noisy situation currently
i am still confused about it all, if U R able to tell lol :confused:
 
I would think its about time for your learning to begin by watching those "tools + aids" you keep referencing.

I have said before, not sure which thread of the numerous conflated threads, the bearing MUST have a press fit on the rotating part with a slip fit in the stationary part. This is common ball bearing install.

Now, if you cheaped out and skipped replacing the worn out input shaft, then the bearing would NOT have a correct fit on the shaft. This will definitely kill any bearing, even the best bearing made.

So, was the input shaft replaced? If not, then no surprise the bearing is trashed again.

Just keep driving it. Might be the best path to put this poor ride out of its misery.
 
New input shaft, if I remember correctly, from speaking to the rebuilder on the phone many months ago
 
Did you see/inspect this rebuilt transmission before it was installed, or was this job done by another of your fly by night shops?
 
I was nowhere near enough for any kind of in person looksee inspection nor were pictures sent that I requested once or twice
 
So you're only taking this shop on their word they did the whole job correctly. If you've never done business of any type with them in the past....who knows what type of work they do. I assume you at least got some verified references before going there.
 
It was a Toyota master that spent good time at a dealership before venturing out on his own
So IDK tacoJoels
There were a number of other new parts had put on that were displayed in the EDT topical
My head is shaken silly as you can imagine
 
Not at all
And I am at a point in time where I honestly trust Nobody which can include myself sometimes
 
You need to build a relationship with one good shop if they can be found, instead of bouncing everywhere. Its going to be hard as most shops even good ones don't like working on old high mileage vehicles, as many will come back to bite them.
 
might be a yota specialist in the Denver area that popped up on the radar in the past several years that i started to look into
they may still see a good amount of gen1 Tacoma and gen3 T4R since they use something else for road de-icer in that area and they are more prevalent on the roads there, or so i hear and maybe have seen while there
 
If unable to do the work needed yourself, I try to find the best shop closest to me. That way if any issue afterwards, they know I'll be back to tell them. Fortunately there are 2 toyota dealerships nearby that can be trusted. There's even midas thats pretty good to, but those guys are right up there for labor rates at $150 an hr.
