You can get it for $17.
I am at 84k miles and just put this new TOB on my FR-S a few weekends ago. |
I've been searching all the mechanical forum sections for a general consensus on the best throwout bearings for our cars with no luck. Glad I decided to check here in general before I asked in drivetrain. Thank you for sharing this Ermax! I was actually under the assumption (from digging) that aftermarket TOBs were actually better for the 86s. Which may have been the case until this 2017 redesign you've mentioned? Either way, thank you. I'm used to the OEM TOB being the strongest choice in my GST, and was about to concede that I should replace the FR-S one with an aftermarket clutch Mfg TOB. This has somewhat changed my mind back to OEM.
If any of the other long time 86 owners stumble upon this thread can you all confirm and/or share your thoughts and experiences with the OEM vs. aftermarket throwout bearings?
