Default McLeod Throwout Bearing

I have tried to find threads reviewing the McLeod Throwout Bearing... can't seem to find any.

Is this worth it? Stick to OEM?


This is what I am looking at:

Also, with all the threads about bushing vs bearing... what about the "bigger" bearing? IS BIGGER BETTER?

I just had this conversation with Mcleod, and they said that set up on their adjustable TB was a bit tricky and it has a longer through so it's possible to over-through and cause damage to the clutch. As for the pilot bearing, I'v been having trouble with both roller, and bushing, but that's more my fault then the part. I'm sure that I may have damage the roller when I installed the driveline, then tried a bushing that didn't go well (times 2) now the input shaft has enough damage at the tip that my only option is to replace it and try again.

Call Mcleod and double check to see if there product will work, but I was advised to go with the GM HP TB.
