Good points all around.. I'm thinking this might be easier on a motorcycle-powered car: after all, motorcycles already come with a neutral indicator.. Shifting from 5th or 6th down to neutral, then back up again for when the engine restarts is a pain in the butt though.

Are there any workarounds to the clutch bearing issue?
