Clutch and throw out bearing for a T-5

Hello,

What clutch and bearing have you used? What did you like/dislike about your purchase? Is there something that can be done short of a g-force rebuild kit to make it stronger while I am down there? I will be driving it on the street and maybe do an autocross or two. I do not speedshift. I would like to save the big dollars for a 6-speed trans.

Thanks,

Jason

Bear in mind I have a V6 T5 combo but check out the kit well before you take it home. I got my kit at Murray's and the only problem was a cheap cast throw out bearing. It was nothing like the original beefy one, it was cheap and kind of small. It ate through the pressure plate spring fins.

They gave me a new kit no problem, but pulled a federal Mogul TO bearing off the shelf for me to use instead. Which was just like the stock one.
