Default Clutch Install Question

Nick,

I just purchased a RAM HDX clutch and Steeda Clutch kit (cable, quadrant, firewall adjuster). I was thinking about doing the install myself with a friend who has done this before. While looking at your site I noticed you had a clutch install guide (http://www.americanmuscle.com/simple...h-install.html) that shows the process with a SPEC clutch. I have a couple questions though:

1. In the clutch I purchased, it says it comes with the "release bearing". Is this the same as the throw out bearing?

2. Does it come with the pilot bearing? I am reading that some kits for newer models dont, but not sure if this is something I need to order..

Below is the clutch I ordered:

Thanks for the help!

Yup, it is the throwout bearing it comes with. It does not come with the pilot bearing as far as I know.
