doing the auto to 5 spd swap and ordered my pilot bearing from napa. i open the box and it looks like a bushing and it says bushing on the box? i though it was an actual bearing that spins. this looks like the auto bushing i spent hours gettin out only the walls are thinner and its a little longer, did they get me the wrong part?

It is a bushing. The auto is different from the manual bushing. The auto sticks out of the engine by about a 1/4 inch or plus whereas the manual pilot bushing will go into the little tunnel on the back of the engine.
