My clutch didn't come with a pilot bearing or throw out bearing, so, I need to buy some before I put it on. Most people have upgraded clutches, so they use the bearings that come with their kit, but, are they the same as stock quality, or better? I need to decide where to buy the bearings. I looked for a performance throw out bearing a lot time ago that said it was rated for 500+ hp, and it was a little over $100. I freaked. So, hoping stock bearings or some other company provides enough strength for like $25 each or so.

 

stock mazda bearing. the rest are either exactly that or non oem versions of it.

 

hp has nothing to do with clutch bearings, only pressure plate strength. Get oem ****, you'd be pissed if you had to pull the trans again because you saved $10 with a cheap bearing.

 

NTN bearing part #FCR44-32-1/2E is what I use with my ACT HD
