i\'d look for a company that sells clutch kits, usually they get the bearings seperately

No, not from a clutch company. They usually are cheap knock-offs that you will need to replace sooner than later, and workmanship is not cheap for transmission remove&replace. Also should it fail, so will your clutch and you don\'t want that...

I suggest you go the OEM road, it is worth it. It\'s a Koyo bearing based throw out.
