Aftermarket tob's and pilot bearings are junk.. So Ford racing the way to go? I asked my guy and he said they're fine to use. Forgot to say T5 tranny.
Throwout bearing / Pilot Bearing

Negative, Ford Racing is not the way to go. OEM is the way to go.
However, my oem throwout bearing lasted about 48 hours then decided to implode. But then again, I don't know how to drive. :dontknow:

I found a timken that I'm throwing in mine this weekend. With the timken reputation I have no fears throwing this in. Anything other than this or oem would make me nervous

So the first one is the throwout bearing correct? It looks used, but listed as new and 9 available so I'll probably buy one off that guy. The 2nd one, clutch release bearing ball? I'm a noob when it comes to stick tranny's, the fawk is that lol?

Ahhh aiight lol. So I got the throwout bearing saved. Now to find that damn pilot bearing
Get a crap tob bearing, and you will develop a relationship with them ball bearings rather quickly, as they will be falling out of your bellhousing when you go to replace it again. These cars by far, are the hardest vehicles that ive seen on TOB's. BTW, you will need a pilot bearing for 1 1/16" input shaft, the 1 1/8" pilot bearing is for guys running the Tremec 3550 and tko 500 transmissions,

FWIW I get my TO Bearings, pilot bearings, PP Bolts, FW Bolts from D&D Performance in Michigan. (Don Walsh)
I think they supply the OEM Ford TO Bearing. The last one I had went 6 years and could have gone more if the clutch last longer. So that was enough proof for me. I have the same set up in my new trans and have not heard a peep out of it for 2 years now. So if your in need of a quality parts look no further than D&D Performance for these clutch parts. What ever clutch I buy I just throw their bearing in the garbage and buy the D&D one. That what I do.
