Thanks Also its an NSK Part Number 48TK3201

The inside for sure is plastic. I believe they reason they are using plastic now instead of metal (stock is plastic) is so that if it ever wears out and stops spinning, it won't wear into your tranny input shaft as fast.

Can you highlight what you say is plastic? As far as I can tell I cant find any. Anyways Thanks for the help.

My OEM one I ordered from road race when I did my clutch install was a NSK bearing, so I'd bet that one is as well.

If you're gonna order that OEM stuff, definately check JNZtuning.com. Their prices on most OEM stuff is cheaper than most other vendors. I wish I knew about them a long time ago...
