but as with everything its either in America, a rip off, or too cheap to be good, i fancie a snappy clutch & release bearing for my NA..... where do you look?

I have a genuine exedy clutch on my TT, plus running uprated boost.

Kit comes complete with plate cover, and new bearing.

I know a few others on here have them too.

Been superb on mine, and i dont hang around............

the standard bush that is on the shaft is made of brass so this is an upgrade. I pretty sure ive got it right and i will be putting one of the Nismo ones on when i put on my exedy clutch

what worries me about the nismo needle bearing one is 1 do they need to be grease prior to refitting the gearbox and two when the grease works out and the needle dry out and collapse they will take out the input shaft wouldn't they??

I was looking at these and couldn,t understand the benefit of fitting one , the standard brass bush should last for years with no real downsides but as you pointed out the needle one could fail !

Found this

 

Description:

 

These needle bearings replace the stock brass spigot bush in the end of the crank that the gearbox input shaft goes into. The needle bearings last longer and put less stress on the gearbox and are also quieter.

the oilite bush that it replaces is a self lubricating bush so i am fitting a standard nissan one. i would have assumed that that "bearing" will need to be lubricated at some point.?!
