Me thinks yer calf muscle will wear out from that heavy Porsche clutch, looooooooooooooooooooooooooong before your Porsches pilot bearing will.
Has anybody ever seen a gearbox fail with a worn pilot bearing?
Cause I haven't, we have (had untill recently) mostly manuals in Europe
Nobody here on forums discusses how to shift, never mind how to "protect" their pilot bearing by going neutral at stop lights.. I bet most don't know what a pilot bearing is, it's a non issue in the continent where manuals are the default... So that it keeps coming up on American car forums.. I thinks says more bout Americans and manuals then about manuals and pilot bearings
