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? |
There is virtually no information on here about the aftermarket TOBs. Unfortunately the 2017 TOB update is so new we also have no real info on how long they will last either. Either way you are probably better off than with the old part number bearing so if going OEM make sure you get the new one.
