Default Are No Name TO bearing any good?

My transmission source forgot to send my TO bearing even after reminding him several times. Anyway, I need to source one locally. What I have found is there are numerous ones available at much cheaper prices than the McCleod one I was going to buy. Are these no name TO bearings just as good or am I going to have to pull the tranny to replace it because it will not hold up? It is going with a 12in McCleod pressure plate and disk behind a Shelby block putting out well over 600 FWHP.

The TO bearing that came with my Centerforce looked no different than the auto supply store variety.

That being said, the quality of parts you get from shops that sell to mechanics, and the chain discount houses are likely to be very different.

The Throw out bearing can be sourced at a Bearing house (yellow pages) BCA is a well known brand. It is a "thrust" bearing that is mounted on a coller. Buy the bearing and install it on the old coller or get a BCA bearing with the coller already installed.
