Yes, it's part of the clutch system, and should be replaced any time you replace the clutch. Grinding when you push in the pedal, and/or squealing. Most throw out bearings last at least as long as the clutch, but asking them to go longer [ie, reusing the throw out bearing when replacing the friction disk and pressure plate] is not a good idea.
Does the throw out bearing come with every new aftermarket clutch? My clutch squeaks when I engage it. It's been doing this for a while. Is this most likely my problem.
