Throwout bearing opinions

[syncro surf]

I have two throwout bearings, a Sachs and an unmarked one that came with a LUK clutch kit. They are probably both fine but I do have to choose. Anyone recognize the unmarked bearing and have any opinions? They are a bit different

(I tried to keep the orientation the same but the gallery flipped some images - the dark bearing surface is the Sachs. Sachs also has what looks to be thicker bearing surface).

Thanks

I’d run the Sachs. At least they have enough pride to put their name on it.

Sachs. no name means no skin in the game. put a little pressure on the face and turn it... any difference in happy bearings?

Thanks - Sachs it is. Thats where I was leaning, just wanted to make sure that the mystery bearing wasn't something that you all recognized as something good.
