Hi, I'm finally getting ready to put my engine and tranny back in the car and am just sourcing the final few parts and see the throw-out bearing is ridiculously over priced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Is there any other options then the $150 route? I've already checked NAPA and they can't get one.

Thanks'

Jon

At this price they should be called throw-up bearings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

No kidding... Have you replaced the clutch and pressure plate? If not, it may be worth the $$ now so you don't have to drop the tranny again later...

It's looking that way. I've replaced these on various vehicles and they were never this expensive. I was just a little shocked by the price. The clutch was replaced not too long ago on the enigine I bought and the transmission I received had no throw out bearing. Sigh!

Is the old one making noise or you are just wanting to renew it cause you have it tore apart?
I have a used one in good condition you can have cheap. Removed because converting to V8 and the KEP kit has a new one.
