Which clutch release bearing?
I am pulling the trans to fix an install problem with my ACT clutch kit. I have a choice of the revised Mini clutch bearing or the ACT bearing. Any idea which I should use?

Since you are putting in ACT clutch & pressure plate I would suggest using the ACT throw out bearing.
I believe the ACT bearing is a metal one.
The OEM is plastic.
What flywheel are you using?

I am using the ACT Streetlite flywheel - steel version.

Good choice.
Go with the entire ACT system.
