hey guys i got an 89 yj with 258 and ax15. ive had this problem about 5 times now... the throwout bearing will bust its seal and leak out of the bell housing ive replaced it myself every time and just cant seem to find a quality one that will last more than 6 months. i was hoping someone on here might have some suggestions on who could offer a good one so far ive tried autozone 3 times napa once and a timken throwout off of rockauto. the timken lasted the longest (about 6 months) and the autozone brands only lasted about a week i neeed help please
 

Are you talking about the slave cylinder on the outside of some, or on the inside of other bellhousings? because afaik the throwout bearing doesn't have anything to leak, just a bearing. If its the slave IDK, a friend replaced his back in early spring from o'rielys and hasn't had any issues. Hopefully others will have better info than I did for you.
 
Yes its an internally mounted hydraulic throwout. It has the bearing built into the unit. I'm not sure swapping the bellhousing and entire throwout is within my budget
 

Alright. I ordered one from oriellys hopefully it will last a while. I'm just tired of pulling the transmission out. If anyone else has any suggestion please let me know.
