I'm doing a clutch in my car and can't seem to find a throw out bearing for sale.

i purchased both of the above.

along with this clutch kit.

plan on reusing the fly wheel.( not sure if thats a good idea)

is there anything else i need that I'm missing? Also got a new rear main seal.

my car is an 08 manual with 96K miles. (right now i think its the original clutch no issues or slipping but I'm going FBO)

The pilot bearing you posted the link to is not the throwout bearing. I don't know if the fork comes with the bearing. Call ECS and see if they can tell you, or set you up. Don't forget new flywheel bolts. They're single-use items. While you have the transmission out, consider replacing the input shaft seal and shift selector rod seal. Fresh trans fluid, and you should be good to go. BTW- BavAuto has a good video on YouTube about clutch replacement. Definitely check it out before you dig into this project. Take a good look at your flywheel when it's out. They can't be resurfaced. Look for rotational play in the flywheel. I doubt it will be good. I think 20mm freeplay is the max you should have.

You can see the throw out bearing right on the clutch fork.

What threw me (pun intended) was the price. Hard to believe BMW charges less than 90 bucks, considering what they get for stuff like wiper blades...
