Subject:I am going to replace my pilot bearing - what else?
From:John-Reed Maffeo

Ok, I am convinced. My pilot bearing needs to be replaced.

Since I am going to the time, trouble, and expense of pulling the
tranny to get at this cheepo part, what else should I do while I
have the thing out?

Are there transmission gaskets that I can replace? Should I
go ahead and replace the clutch and throwout bearing?

Is there anything simple that can be done to the inside of the
tranny?

Are there any Syncro specific issues in addition to the drive
shaft and rock guards?

Thank You,
