ACT 2100 throw out bearing

[MIKE123089]

I put a 2100 clutch and a chrome moly fly wheel on about 35k miles ago. When I took out the engine the bearing was in bad shape and sounded bad. This was changed out the same time. The clutch disk seem worn a lot. This clutch was not abused. Should I use an OEM bearing instead of a ACT bearing. Thanks for the help

Yes it is recommended to run an oem throw out bearing.

It's what I did the last 4 transmission jobs I did with different cars. They are all running strong still with OEM. It's proven.

I purchased an act 2600 kit with a sprung 6 puck and act throw out bearing. Thing made noise right out of the box. Pulled the tranny again and put in a oem Mitsubishi , no noise whatsoever.
Moral of the story is buy oem Mitsubishi. Period.
