New and Improved OEM TOB

[Deep Six]

I read a comment from a previous thread written by an Exige employee that a new factory TOB was going to be released soon. Is anyone aware if this has actually happened?

The TOB was updated with the '17+ models. You can order the TOB by itself with the new high temp grease.

Edit: Don't you get a new TOB with your replaced clutch? Or is that one rubbish? I remember reading one of the TOBs from an aftermarket clutch was junk.

Make sure you get the right part number. When they replaced mine they originally ordered the old part number until I told them it was wrong.

The ACT bearing had drivability issues from the start. Decide to put another oem one in along with the billet fork while the engine was out being built. The new oem one (late 2016) has squealed occasionally since about a week after installation but the clutch actually works outstanding with much better manners than you would expect from a 6 puck.
