To change or not to change out throwout bearing
I'm about to swap out my clutch so my question is, is it neccesary to swap out throwout bearing also. I have read both ways but I am still unsure if I should.

I most certainly am going to replace as much as possible when I have mine cracked open. Short answer, Yes.

yes, definately do it. the TOB can go bad without the clutch going bad and u don't want to have to go back in there to just replace the TOB. do a clutch kit which comes with a new TOB or even replace it with an OEM TOB, depending on which kit ur going for.

You will more than likely ruin the throwout bearing removing it. So.. YES.. get a new factory throwout bearing
