Where can I get a Throwout Bearing for the cheapest? '97 T56 (if year matters?) At Advance auto its $100 and the dealer it's $157 . Where else? Thanks

napa... the little steel thing is like 20 dollars, if we are talking about the same thing. I just replaced it, looks like a little ball

edit: this was for 95 T/A but i assume it's the same

 

Same thing as a "Release Bearing." Is slides over the input shaft and pushes on the pressure plate (is pushed by the clutch fork). You might be talking about the pilot bearing, it's really small.

I bought a throw out bearing from SPEC for $25. Give them a call 1 - 800 - 828 - 4379 .

 

are you sure it is the throwout bearing? i got a self aligning one from jegs for $40. i didnt need it because the PP came with one. i still have it if you want it, brand new still in box.

I went to Advance, then the dealer. Told them I needed the throwout bearing. That's what they told me. I couldn't believe it at first either. My pressure plate didn't come with one so I obviously need one. Let me do some more checking. Thanks guys

TTT

As far as I know I'm going to have to go with the $100 from Advance

The Hays Self Aligning one from Jegs for $40 doesn't work I heard. It doesn't come with the clips to go onto the P/P and the inside/outside diameters are wrong. How about the "Oversize" one? Help!

Well, I bought a T.O.B. from Advance, but I got them to price match Jason Chromers price. I don't remember exactly how much I paid but it was still at least $75. The problem is, is that the LT1 P.P. uses a pull style T.O.B. and most everything else uses a push style. Face it, they are just expensive.

It did not come with the c-clip wire either. You may have to try and ask for one in the Parts Wanted section of the board, or at a local junkyard.

Good Luck!
