    I would!

    Since it came out of a Trooper, I'd assume it is this one:

    http://www.carid.com/1998-isuzu-troo...m-7955070.html I see it on eBay for $500 and cheaper, so I would *def* search for a better price.

    When I purchased the used Trooper, the orig. owner advised that the clutch job had been done w/in 4-5 months, so I didn't replace it. I did, however, replace the t/o bearing and pilot bearing, which come in the aforementioned kit.

    I used a NSK Pilot Bearing (P/N W0133-1631634)
    http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...3-1631634.html

    and I also replaced the throwout (release) bearing with a Sachs unit (P/N W0133-1608860).
    http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...3-1608860.html

    The above-referenced site has the least expensive price for the Sach's unit. Every other place I checked was north of $100. They got both parts to me w/in 2 days, as well.

    Awesome! I'll add this info to the Wiki! Good to know we have more options than just (expensive) OEM parts.

    Also, Just a note to anyone that is interested in adding/updating info on the wiki, it is open to anyone. But to keep it clean, you will have to sign up for an account (like any other major wiki) to add/edit/update.

    Well I found the kit you mentioned for $600 at another place, but ended up going with the KIS06 kit that the Exedy website suggested going with. It was $465 at RockAuto.com
