Anybody using the throwout bearing that came with their spec clutches without issues. Or should I order the ford racing one?

I have a spec clutch, and put a Ford racing tob and pilot bearing in. Didn't want to risk it.

I used the Spec throwout bearing that came with my clutch and it started squeaking after maybe a month, so I'm switching back to a Ford unit. I have not had a good experience with mine, but it's up to you if you want to try it.

Crap, I just bought a spec clutch and this is the first i'm reading of this. Is this a common issue with their tob?

It'll start squeaking not long after the installation. Don't even bother. Just run the ford racing throwout bearing.

I think it's common issue with any non ford TOB bearing. Who knows tho, try it. You might get lucky. What's the worse that it can do?
I guess the squeaking is the worst that can happen haha
Has anyone used the spec parts and didn't have squeaking??
