does the g-force/astro performance trans use the same pilot bearing as a stock 8-cylinder t-5? because i bolted my trans up and it stays in gear with the clutch depressed, ive adjusted the cable properly, then adjusted it really tight so i had more leverage on it and it still wont disengage. so i pulled the trans back apart and it wont come out of the motor. all the bolts are out and it wont come out. i had 3 prybars in it and pushing on a crowbar with my foot and the thing wont budge. yes..all the bolts are out. it tried it where the trans connects to the bell housing, and also from the bellhousing to the motor and its f-in stuck in there. i went to turn the crank by hand and the whole tranny turns!! im thinking the pilot bearing may be the wrong size and it may have gotten pushed apart when i bolted up the trans and now it has nowhere to go and is lodged against the clutch plate/in the back of the crank.
