We offer the Mazda original equipment RX-8 throwout bearing for use on the clutch assembly. The original RX-8 throwout bearing normally does require replacement unless it has abused or is severely worn. However, if is has been making noise, such as a whirring sound when the clutch pedal is depressed,  or if the slave linkage has run out of clearance, replacement is wise.  Any roughness felt in the bearing after it is removed is cause for replacement. We strongly suggest replacement of the RX-8 throwout bearing when servicing or replacing the RX-8 clutch assembly unit as a form of cheap insurance - instead of facing a costly and time consuming repair job if this unit were to fail at a later time.
