New Release Bearing for Racing Clutch
I've had a JWT Racing Clutch and Flywheel for over a year now.
Now, there's a weird noise, almost sounds like a cricket being raped. (okay it does sound like a non-stop repetition of that noise crickets make, so maybe not a cricket being raped, just a cricket freaking out for no reason)
It only goes on when the clutch is not engaged, as soon as I barely step on the clutch, it goes away.
Anyways, so I took it to two mechanics and they said it's the release bearing.
I was wondering if I should get an OEM one. Is there a better aftermarket alternative? Does a release bearing usually come with the JWT kit?
I'm sorry, I don't go anywhere near transmission work for DIYs, so this question may sound stupid...
