Japanese NSK release bearings are what Toyota recommends for your 2RZ or 3RZ 5-speed setup.
Changing your relase bearing is something you definately don't want to do tonight after dinner. So run what Toyota recommends: NSK release bearings!
Trying to cut cost on a cheaper non-Japanese release bearing is like buying a Kia and expecting a Lexus.
This clutch release bearing fits all 1996-04 4cylinder Tacomas and 4Runners, as well as 1995-97 4cylinder T100s.
Specifically, W59 transmissions.
