OEM and aftermarket are all gonna be the piece of shit Valeo TOB. I've broken the arms off one too.

Those TOB's are meant only for stock pressure plates. They're not meant to PULL the added pressure of aftermarket plates. Again, our clutch aftermarket sucks ass.

Have you contacted the seller to request that they send it to you? You've paid for it in the price of the clutch kit. The least they could do is give you what you've paid for.

I ordered the clutch from Gripforce. It says its daikin clutch on the box. Since i ordered it back in the summer and just notice now that the bearing is missing ,they said they cant offer a replacement because i should have checked it within 7 days of receiving it.
Would i be alright getting a tob from hyundai? or would i need something else?

You should be fine. But you can find it cheaper online somewhere. Like less than half price.

That's definately a seco! You can tell because it has 4 bushings instead of springs. I love my seco.

It turns out that all of my clutch problems were from a engine mount which was worn from towing a trailer a couple of years ago, then adding nitrous to a weakened motormount. The 50 HP on a almost gone motor mount destroyed it. Whenever I'd put in a new clutch, it would feel good, then start vibrating after I broke it in. This is because the clutch stopped slipping and started glazing. I finally got it fixed and I think SECO is the bomb. The SECO stood up to this abuse better then the valeo.

It's really wierd, but I still can't put into words what my worn motor mount felt like. Steering wheel vibrated more, and the car had kind of a stall, then a go before it went. I didn't even know I had a bad motor mount until I replaced it with a sold one.

SECO FTW
