Didn't your clutch come with one? If not, it is not utterly necessary to swap it out, but highly recommended. Where are you seeing them for $79?

Yeah, the throw-out bearings are pretty damn expensive. I just bought a whole new slave when I did my clutch...

They are definitely recommended to be replaced, especially if you have some abuse on it. The last thing you want to do is pull the thing all the way apart again just because this one little part failed. Kinda like replacing the pilot bearing...

Everytime a clutch is replaced the throwout bearing should be replaced.

80 is not much considering what you spend to put in a good clutch/flywheel and new hydraulics, just bite the bullet and do it right. I spent 1150 on parts alone for my clutch swap.
