I am replacing my clutch assembly with a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch kit p/n: DF02157S and a new Centerforce flywheel p/n: 700164 but Centerforce does not have a throwout bearing.  I was wondering what throw-out bearing I should go with.  McLeod Racing  has a p/n: 16525.  Any suggestions on my picks above?

...The Pressure Plate! With 3 Levers use a FLAT Faced Bearing, the 3 Levers Contact and Pivot on the 3 'Tips'. When using the P. Plate with MULTIPLE thin 'Fingers', Use a ROUNDED Face Bearing to 'Roll' through the motion of many Sheet Metal 'Fingers'. That's My opinion as I understand it.

...IF you should use a FLAT Faced T.O. Bearing with the 'Multi-Fingered' Pressure Plate, the Action will 'Bind-Up', and will Not be as Smooth! Also the 'Leverage' will be lost, as The 'Outside Diameter' of the Bearing will CONTACT the 'Fingers' at a Point CLOSER to the 'Fulcrum'...First and Only!! And the Effort/Force for Dis-Engaging the Clutch, will be Compounded, although, the Movement will be 'Quicker'! Understand This! It's NOT Rocket Science...But it IS Physics!

...also, I will add:

Having a 'Dual' Disk clutch (I've never ran one), may pose a problem with 'Clutch Dis-Engagement' as the Double Thickness may NOT Provide Enough Clearence to 'Break' the Frictional DRIVE. And there may NOT be Enough 'Adjustment' in the 'ZF Transaxle/Bellhousing' System, to Compensate for this.
