Mine had ears on it. Unless that photo is just a stock image of "a bearing" then no.

My $100 ebay clutch kit came with a new bearing . . . where are you getting your clutch?

Makes me glad I got the hundred dollar clutch kit w/ the bearing then!
How much does the dealership want for a TOB?
The security system lives in my pocket, unless its big brother is on the point of my hip. If you want one of those with your clutch kit, it'll cost a couple hundred more and there's more paperwork involved nana.gif

clapping.gif it pays to contact sellers on eBay! You would be surprised how many customers call us with a question that they think has even odds of success, but we were just waiting for somebody to ask.
Be careful. I had a south bend tob and oem shaft sleeve fail (and destroy everything). Upon closer inspection, the south bend bearing seems to be of lesser quality than the oem and my current valeo. I have also been told by a few others not to get south bend tobs. Not sure where that eBay bearings are coming from, but it might be wise to go with oem or valeo to be safe. Buy a new shaft sleeve too. They are really cheap.
