Ron---I have found the best of the lot to be the Gunst bearing with the
bronze sleeve. The brand of clutch seems to be a matter of choice. The
"Blue Dot" B&B works well, while others like the softer Sachs.
TRF's "Magic Clutch" packages the Koyo t/o bearing, and I think the
Sachs clutch. This is a quality bearing, somewhat larger and heavier
than the stock RHP, or the Gunst. I found two examples of the Koyo to
squeal upon initial contact with the clutch. This could just be when
used with the B&B pressure plate, but didn't try it with another brand,
so can't say if this would be the case with others.
The two bearings reported to give the most problems (failures) are the
"Green" and the "RHP".
