There is a guy on this forum who had 300000 miles on his car and he never heard of ims bearing.go figure,just my opinion
Nope.... not alone.
I did mine because I had clutch failure. I wish I hadn't done it. The bearing in there had 147k miles on it, and looked perfect. I'd have been better off leaving it.
I just put the cheap pelican kit in it.

Why spend 3-8 k on a car that is worth 10. The failer rate is estimated at 8%. Maybe more with age but who knows. I figured mine is dispensable. If she goes she goes. It's still worth what 3-4 to someone as a roller. If I felt I enjoyed it enough I can get another one. Just make sure you have towing on your insurance. I
