1.5F to 2F Swap- water pump and accessories

Wow, just checked, that TOB 90363-52001-77 (older # 90363-52001) has been discontinued ??

Shizzle.

Not sure if that is true or not but the +85 bearing that comes in the Aisin kits is readily available and is most likely an upgraded part anyways.

OP has correct throwout hub but looks like bearing is installed backwards.

OE bearing is a Nachi. Bearing in the Aisin kits is an aftermarket Koyo, and not as Robust (visually), and different shape. As a Japan-made Koyo, I'm sure it works fine. I've never read of any complaints (except when installed backwards )

Mechanic said the new throw out (Aisin) was a snug fit on the carrier.

Um, did a mechanic install the TOB?
