monster throw out bearing VS. OEM?
I just picked up a new clutch from monster. when I opened the box I saw that it came with a new throw out bearing. I had already picked up a new OEM slave that also came with a new throw out bearing. my question is which one would you use? I'm unsure about the quality of the monster throw out bearing. the OEM looks to be a better made part (not saying it is) just looks that way to me. so to anyone running the monster throw out bearing I would like to know your experiences with it.

I ran the ToB from Monster and it gave me NO issues at all. Car made 460/420 to the tire. IIRC it's a GM part anyway. I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of a single ToB failure to date from them.
For the love of God tell me you got a speed bleeder as well...?

I put close to 20k miles on the Camaro before selling it. Made 460/420 to the tires with a Monster 2 and a LW FW. Never gave a lick of trouble. Not much help I know, but that's my experience.
I'd just call and talk to Steve at Monster CLutch. AWESOME guy to deal with, honestly.
