So the Rx-7 is down again, it will on its way back down to mainstream for more work. I feel like im driving a DAmn DSM again. I think its going to be the pilot bearing this time round tranny wont go into gear when running and i replaced the master and slave cylinder. hooray driving a rotary, and to think i was less than 24 hours away from ordering a full suspension setup. fking sucks

Pilot bearing is tranny relate, not rotary related. Can happen on any vehicle.

yeah i know but it seems that every time i take 1 step forward i take 3 steps back. it gets frustrating after a while. The rotary comment was more for the fun i have trying to find parts

if all else fails upgrade to a sbc. and rumors arent true about them ruining the handling.

And that would cost less than replacing the pilot bearing? So, the next time you need to replace your tires, are you going to replace your motor instead?

If it is the pilot bearing, check the front main bearing of the transmission. Don't know if you have a TII tranny or NA, but I have seen many transmissions eat pilot bearings when the front main bearing was going out in either. Just a little bit of helpful advice.
