OEM or aftermarket Throw out bearing?
We have a 2000 GT that the previous owner put a stageII clutch. We just installed 3.73 gears a few days ago and the throw out bearing just went out. I don't know what brand of clutch was installed. Should I go with the OEM bearing or aftermarket? Some post say use TimKen. Do they make high performance TOB?

Stinking TOB , seems to be a common problem with not just Mustangs but quite a few Fords.
I have the same problem..TOB is a little noisy.( I guess its a cable adjustment, not enough slack and TOB ride on peasure plate fingers and spins and wears out TOB )
I hear quite a few people recommend the centerforce TOB over OEM .
Anyone have good luck with that one lasting.
I hear stay away from spec 2 TOB the same problem has happen as OEM.
