You might try the roller throw out bearing. I am personally very happy
with it and I know many others are too. I think that it also aleviates
many of the problems with riding the cluch and related issues. I notice
many drivers stop at a light and sit there in gear clutch depressed until
light turns. I'm not saying this is your problem but you can't even think
about doing this with the carbon bearings. As far as I can tell the
roller bearing fixes that, and it lasts quite a bit longer.
