Not saying this is the case, 40K is pretty good, but #1 reason for TOB failure is drivers who rest their foot on the clutch pedal. They press on the pedal enough that the bearing is always spinning, causing premature failure.
The cutch should be used sparingly, I produces a lot of pressure on the crank (bearing) thrust surface. I've seen two 996 engine failures from thrust bearings failure directly related to clutch overuse. Starting in neutral and even shifting to neutral and letting your foot off the clutch at stop lights is a good habit to get into. |
