lilbill97 · 03-04-2009, 06:13 PM

my throw out bearing rattles like crazy and its embarrasing. I have the exedy stage 2 clutch. Can i use an oem throw out bearing from the stealership? or do i need an one from exedy?
How much do they run for?

throw out bearing runs $20-$40 ish. Depends on the brand, you can go local kragens etc or something.

If you goto Honda's eStore you can pick the closest dealership to you and the prices are normally cheaper then if you goto the actual dealership and plus you can get it shipped there for free all you pay is price and tax. If you don't have the link it is: http://estore.honda.com/asp/logon.asp?bhcp=1

Well since you asked....

It had just rained and I was going around a slight curve. No problems until I went under a bridge and hit an oil/water mixture. This caused the rear end to slide out. I turned into the slide but the front end lost traction as well. After 100ft of sliding, the car gained traction but the front wheels were pointed into the slide instead of into the turn, this caused me to spin 270º and go backwards off the road. Right into a 6ft ditch. I hit with such force that it sent the car airborn, doing a backflip. I landed upside-down and slid another 200ft in the mud. The busted windows aided in my car's ability to collect as much of that mud as possible, about 150lbs worth. I crawled out without a scratch. The roof of the car was smashed in down to the top of the steering wheel. Well turns out, I wasn't the only victim of that slick spot. Another 200ft down the highway were 2 more cars that lost control. EMS and tow trucks had already been called to the scene by the time I found a phone. Wrong time to run out of cigarettes.

And yes, I still have post-crash photos of the car.

Kronn speaks the truth.

Do not get a generic TOB. TOBs are highly sensitive to quality; the OEM ones rock. Even the ones you get with most aftermarket clutches suck. No-name brands will wear out quickly, and then you will have to drop your tranny again and replace them.

Totally not worth skimping on a $25 part.

Also, make sure you grease it up good when it goes on. Honda makes special purpose hi-temp grease.
