RE: Throwout Bearing
i was planning on doing it myself(poor college student) when I get a good weekend. So if I get the fork and the Centerforce TO bearing I should be good to go. I replaced the clutch last summer so it only has like 5000 miles on it.( I live on campus). Makes sense though cause I remember cleaning the shaft but didnt go hardcore into it, just a quick rub down. It took me way too long to get the tranny out

RE: Throwout Bearing
So whats the difference between the TO bearing and pilot bearing. I only replaced one'bearing' last time I did it and I thought it was the TO bearing, but the pilot bearing could also be a problem too? Im confused.

RE: Throwout Bearing
TO bearing is what is attached to the clutch fork. The pilot bearing goes into the rear of your crankshaft (center of the flywheel.) and goes onto the input shaft of your tranny.
If it's a pilot bearing it will squeal when you have the clutch pedal pressed in. If it's the TO bearing it will squeal when your foot is off the clutch pedal.
