Default Throwout / Pivot Bearing Replacement.

When replacing the clutch and flywheel I was told to change the throwout bearing, however, the pivot bearing was not as important to replace.... I would like to replace both.... the R have 53,000 km's on her - 3 years old.

Any sugeestions?

Thanks.

you seemed to have answered your own question. IF you want to replace it, replace it. even the throwout bearing isnt a "mandatory" thing to replace w/ the clutch, but its recommended.

bearings = wear item for me

Only 53K and your replacing the clutch already? Seems quite fast to replace unless your changing for a performance clutch.

When you do change it, i always recommend changing the throw-out and pilot bearing as well as re-surfacing the flywheel. Don't forget to grease the shaft for the throw-out bearing if your doing it yourself.

OMG! a nice response from soup ****? is this a sign the end of the world is near?
seriously though, the throwout bearing and pilot bearing are cheap, and they should be replaced everytime the clutch is replaced. that would suck to install a clutch and hear the whine of a throwout bearing 5,000 miles later.....

i might be wrong, but wheres is a pivot bearing on integra? most clutch kits for integra will include release bearing which a good idea to replace if taking transmission out..

B series have a pilot bearing, H series do not. The bearing is on the back side of the flywheel.
