I just ordered a NISMO Clutch and Flywheel, as well as SGP's SS-Braided Clutch Line and the NISMO Roller-Bearing Pilot Bushing (as well as StopTech ss-braided brake lines)

My question: Is the NISMO Roller-Bearing Pilot Bushing a replacement part for the "throw-out bearing", or is the throw-out bearing a different part completely?

I know this might be a simple question for some... ...which is what I'm counting on.

 

Pilot bearing is located in the center of the flywheel where the transmission shaft goes into and rest upon. Throw out bearing is to engage and disengage the pressure plate. So yes, two different part.

 

Thank you! Like I said, simple question, but I wanted to be sure. In nearly 18 years of driving mostly manual trans. cars, this will be the first clutch that I'll be replacing... ...be it out of need or desire to upgrade. At 70k miles, the '91 Mustang GT was the closest to ever needing it, but I traded that right as it was starting to get weak.

I'm under 3K on the G, but I can tell that it will probably let go early... ...and I'm anxious to upgrade it.
