Gotta agree about an all metal bearing with a light coating of Anti-Seize on the input shaft bearing snout. TO bearings are cheap but are a laborious job to change if they need it. It's also a VERY good idea to adjust the clutch linkage exactly to the Assembly or Service Manual. I've never understood why so many people just kind of guess at it! As clutch wear occurs, the diaphragm fingers extend towards the rear of the car and put them into full-time contact with the TO bearing face.
