Bad throw out bearing?

What does your old one look like?

Your clutch looked good. Any idea if these parts are original or had been replaced before?

The old one fell apart, see post 26. No clue. The guy I bought it from was kind of a TJ/LJ dealer. He bought this jeep only a couple days before I bought it from him. Said the previous owner hadn’t told him anything except that he was chasing the same oil leak I ended up fixing.

Didn't the Luk clutch kit come with one?

It does, but many people on the forum have recommended the National brand one since it is completely metal. The Luk kit one is partially plastic, and seems to have a history of breaking rather quickly after installing it, at least from a few reviews on this forum as well as many on Amazon.

Fair enough but you can compare the two...I used the included Luk TOB and haven't had any issues.

I just ordered a new one anyway, I guess I’ll just wait and compare them all, I’ll return what I don’t need
