When you push the clutch in, there is a fork that rides on the outside of the release bearing. You put pressure on it.

"release" "throwout" bearing if rode excessively can lead to premature wear and degredation. (for those reading this thread who dont know, might as well learn something)

So always sit at a light in neutral with foot off clutch.

I hear ya Bob.... I hears ya.. Never thought much about the thrust bearing wearing, but does entirely make sense when you think about it.
Should just RPM shift more often :-).   Be like driving the old 87 GMC 5 ton with a 366.... whoot!

Yea, i had a hangover this morning and wasn't thinking straight! It would cause pressure on the thrust bearing, tho i have never seen one go bad because of it....
