I would agree that the spec TOB is atleast as good as OEM, but I've only got 30k miles on mine so I wont say for sure. But, I will mention my car tends to see several 6000 RPM clutch dumps (with the 6 puck) a week, and so far so good. That cheap TOB bearing that I posted earlier lasted about 1500 miles.

I had the exact same problem after I rebuilt my trans. I used the exact same method to fix it and also havent had a problem since.

I was pretty mad when it happened because I wasn't the one who lost the pin in the first place. I actually used a craftsman star tip screw driver, the diamete was perfect. All I had to do is cut the screw driver shaft to a perfect length and round the ends with a bench grinder. It works perfectly now.

My car lives! Sean, thanks for taking care of it. But I know you are abusing those brakes.

I did this a couple months after I got the car.

How do you know I'm abusing the brakes?

[QUOTE=505max94se]First of all you don't need to heat up any of the bearings to remove them. Second, I would only replace the front input shaft bearing, the others should be fine, just inspect them.


It makes it much easier and if you heat up the bearings to remove them, they will slide right off this way, but if only the front is bad, then only replace that one unless you want to do the whole thing.

Yes they can take alot...I've already had to replace the pads. lol

She's doing great down here in NM. Everything still is just as nice (or maybe nicer)as when I bought the car. I just started using the yota filters and the lifter clack is MUCH better.

Yes it would be easier if you don't have a hydrolic press...

She's on jack stands now

Getting tore down for a new input bearing. It wasn't bad to the point where I was losing gears. Just REAL loud now.
