CM Clutch advice

Looks like mine's slipping. Hard throttle in gear and I feel slip and smell some burn. Yuck!

My OE clutch lasted about 65,000 miles. This Centerforce, about 22,000 (but eleven years).

Any thoughts? This is a 2500 mile a year cruiser, BTW. Don't need a NASCAR/NASA grade part, but would like to see better than 22,000 miles.

I've seen Luk at a few vendors and some guy has a Luk RepSet (full kit), claiming they're OEM (as does Eckler's and Zip, I think) for only $160.

Should I replace the pilot bearing too? I know the TO, but never heard of a pilot bearing before.

Also, how many shop hours should I expect?

Thanks!
