It's unlikely you will find oem clutch parts. There are several threads related to clutch and flywheel service and replacement. How much you are willing to spend and how you plan to drive car will determine your choices. Use the search function.

OTOH, consider whether you really need to replace your pressure plate. If it's clean and straight and not chattering now, then your disk is the main wear item. You might get away with just replacing the disk. Also, the new bearings being sold today are also made-in-China junk. If you can find a new-old-stock INA throwout bearing, it will cost but it will be a lot better than what comes in most clutch kits.

What years is your car OP?
Is it stock or modified?

car is stock. I have my suspicions that the clutch failed due to problems with the hydraulics. I have to look into that now. Should not have clutch failure with only 41,000 on the odo. I do not have a heavy foot!

The '88 and earlier are common small block clutches/flywheels, but the '89 to '96 are unique with a dual mass flywheel, unsprung disk, pull style throwout bearing, etc.
Let us know where to start making recommendations.

Okay, for some reason I just assumed this was a 89-96 car with the ZF6 transmission. Everything I typed in post #3 above only applies to that. If your car is a 4+3, then ignore all of it. OTOH, if your car is a ZF6 with only 41k stock, easy miles on it, then I strong suggest you address the hydraulics first. If that's all that's wrong, then don't mess with the OE pressure plate, bearing, and disk! The parts that came in that car from the factory are far better than anything you can buy new today (again, unless you can locate NOS pressure plate and bearing).
Tell us the year of your car and what the symptoms are.
