Hi John,
I've just had an episode with the pilot bearing in the end of the
crankshaft. I changed the clutch about 60,000 ago now the pilot bearing is
seizing to the input shaft so you cannot shift. I would certainly change
this $12 bearing next time I removed the transaxle.

Subject: Things to do when replacing clutch

Hi all,

I'll be replacing the clutch in my '84 GL shortly. Anything else I should do
while I'm there, besides disc,, pressure plate and throw out bearing? Engine
seal maybe?

Thanks
