    Came down to between an OS Giken or an OEM for what I need. The Giken was just too much coin... So a brand new OEM clutch and flywheel it was!

    Actually it was the throw out bearing that failed but if your in there, you should replace the lot.

    Few pics:

    Throw out bearing, note how it was coming apart:


    Inside of housing, note where pieces of the bearing had been doing their thing:


    Random pics:



    Not a simple surgery:
