True, but how often does a TO bearing fail when compared to slave cylinder failures? In the past 30 years, I've probably covered at least a half a million miles driving various manual transmission cars, and in all that time I never once had a TO bearing fail on me, but I did have 3 or 4 clutch slave cylinders crap out that I had to fix... Easy repair when the slave cylinder is outside the bell housing.
