I have an invoice for a throwout bearing right here in front of me.

List price is $59.13. You can haggle with dealerships. They mark up the hell out of some parts.

dude really?! i knew they marked things up but im gunna have to call them and start some shit lol thanks man!! so do you think its worth it though?

[wed3k]

a honda part is just rebranded. i think it is rebranded from a nok bearing. they do the same with valve stem seals.

run the bearing that came with the kit. who knows, it may end up lasting longer then the clutch.

[turbo90accord]

i suggest using an oem bearing but you may also want to check with the clutch manufacturer as well cause some throwout bearings are designed for different clutches as well.

so i should just save my money and use the one in the kit, thats what ill probley do i still need to get Honda tranny fluid. it takes 4 qts right? thanks guys!!

Yea use Honda mtf which is just 10-30. I use strait 30w in my trans because it is a tiny bit thicker than the Honda mtf and helps slow the syncros down faster so I can shift a bit faster and not cause damage to the synchros. This tip was givin to me by Stephen papadakis at the Sema show a few years ago. Other option is calling bisimoto up and getting some torco fluid which is primo stuff
