Throw Out Bearing...should come in almost all kits

It should come in most kits. However, you want to stay away from a TOB that has a metal inner sleeve as it can end up "scoring" the input shaft of your tranny. My advise is to stick with an OEM bearing, they're only about $25.

On a side...ACT kits come with the correct TOB in the box (no need to purchase another), not sure about the other "name" brands though.
