Default Clutch

Do I need to buy a throw out bearing when I buy a clutch kit?

I don't think I have a problem with the one in the car, but how would I know if I did?

yeah you won't want to have it apart for a clutch then apart again a week later to do a bearing if that goes. do it all while it's apart. resurface flywheel, new rear main seal, clutch kit.

I think my new 347 has a new flywheel and if it doesn't, I was planning on getting the existing one resurfaced.

I wasn't thinking about the pilot bearing, but I'll order one of them now as well. I did order the throw out bearing.
