Any Auto Parts Store---Just make sure you get the right one--I think the total length should be 1 1/4 inches.

I recently purchased a LUK clutch kit, excellent clutch but wasn't crazy about the throw out bearing supplied in the kit, so I wound up getting a Timpken 614018 from Auto Zone for $19.00 which was very nice.

Also I strongly recommend replacing the Clutch Fork Arm with a new one unless yours is fairly new. I believe the one that Paragon carries is a GM NOS 3887177 (their P/N 1475K) ----- this is a critical part that often gets overlooked!

Good Luck !

And make sure you install it correctly on the clutch fork - it'll go on either way, and if you do it wrong, you get to do it all over again.
