my vote is the kevlar pilot bushings from south bend clutch.
pricey...last order was $40 ea plus ship.
every vehicle I've installed them into has been problem free in that area.

X2 on that. I switched over to a Kevlar bushing when I did my ZF swap, and all's been well for over 6 years now

BTW, here's a pic of what my original pilot bearing looked like, along with a comparison between a new pilot bearing and a Kevlar bushing...

12 inch clutch kit from southbend is suprisingly cheap for the borg-warner 4 speed bought one for around 200$ last year came with the kevlar pilot also
