Pilot bearing on 3.6 LFX is mated with the AY6 or not? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Got a new clutch kit for my 13 3.6 with a AY6 but it seems i cant line up the clutch, i figured thats weird and it hit me that my transmission does not have a pilot tip after the splines on the input shaft. How can this be? Im running a single mass flywheel. Do i just eyeball the alignment? Is something wrong w the transmission?

Also wondering how the current pilot bearing is sng one side being worn out and the other fine if nothing is mating with it?

I don’t know this too well, but don’t the 10-11 RS V6 and 12-15 RS models use a different clutch and flywheel kit? Have you checked what kind of clutch/flywheel kit you got? Or did you end up getting a factory OEM setup or OEM spec replacement? I figure it might not hurt to check, since I see a lot of online vendors and parts search engines and databases, listing the 10-11 RS as having a different clutch kit, compared to the 12-15 RS models.
