I have used SKF metal bearing ($80.00) and have had the plastic crap ones that come with clutch kits.

None will last long in mud, Plastic is not even an option they are terrible. I was not impressed with the SKF unit it did not last nearly as long as the stock bearing.

I would try Timken

Our local “stealership” wants $165 for a release bearing? Told him I only needed 1, not 3  >:(

I bought the complete Luk heavy duty clutch kit for about $220 CDN shipping included from Rock Auto, took less than a week to get to my door.
Thats the clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing and metal throw out bearing.
