Jackrabbit41 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I put in a brand new throwout bearing and it's already bad. It's the Napa brand, now I need another, which is best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Funny that you mention this, buddy of mine just had to replace his after a couple months, he has an 03 tj and he said that the luk kit he bought has a plastic throwout bearing and that he had to find one that was made in full metal to last longer, irrc it was a luk brand as well...

87MJTIM Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Internal or external slave? I have a Luk bearing for both my MJ and CJ (external slaves). I've had not problems. I have read on CC and elsewhere if you want a quality internal slave, you need to go to a dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I asked because the internal is a combined slave/throughout bearing. These things have a shelf life of milk. I have not had issues with a release bearing for an external. Do you have the correct pressure plate? An incorrect PP may be contacting the bearing causing it to wear prematurely. my 2¢.

I believe so. The tranny is for a 95 Cherokee. I have the clutch kit for a 95 with a 87 renix flywheel. I ran this set up for a year but then I got another reman ax15 I just recently out in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
