Direct Fit Throttle Assembly for 1998-2002 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird
The Hydraulic Throwout Bearing Assembly addresses the challenge of precise hydraulic clutch actuation in LS and LT conversions for 1998 through 2002 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models. Offering an exact fit to the factory bellhousing pattern it integrates neatly with T56 transmissions without modifying the transmission tunnel. Crafted from OEM-quality materials it delivers reliable pedal feel under sustained use and hard launches. Installation moves quickly thanks to straightforward hardware and clear instructions that guide both DIY builders and professional shops through each step.
Precise OEM Fit for Clutch Alignment
This assembly is engineered to match the factory bellhousing pattern on 1998 through 2002 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with exacting tolerances. By mirroring the original equipment dimensions, it ensures perfect alignment of the throwout bearing against the clutch fingers, eliminating any chance of wobble or vibration during engagement. That level of precision supports consistent pedal feel and guards against premature wear of both bearing and clutch components. Integrating seamlessly into the stock location also means there is no need for modifications to the transmission tunnel or bellhousing.
Streamlined T56 Transmission Installation
Designed specifically for use with T56 gearboxes, this hydraulic throwout bearing assembly simplifies the swap process by using the same mounting holes and guide studs found on the factory manual transmission. Clear, step-by-step instructions and all required hardware are included, guiding installers through each phase from initial bearing placement to hose connection. This straightforward approach reduces labor time and removes common guesswork, making it accessible for both DIY enthusiasts and professional shops.
Durability for High Stress Driving
Constructed from OEM quality materials that meet or exceed industry standards, this bearing assembly stands up to the rigors of track days and spirited street driving. The housing and bearing surfaces are machined from robust steel alloys, while high integrity seals protect the internal piston from contaminants and fluid loss. As a result, the unit maintains consistent performance under repeated cycles of heavy clutch engagement, providing confidence in sustained high stress environments.
Enhanced Clutch Engagement and Power Transfer
By replacing a mechanical linkage with a hydraulic interface, this throwout bearing assembly delivers a firmer, more linear pedal feel and faster clutch response. The hydraulic fluid cushion ensures smooth actuation, minimizing pedal effort without sacrificing feedback. Drivers will notice crisper takeups and more immediate power transfer, which is especially beneficial during rapid downshifts or aggressive launches where split-second clutch modulation makes a difference.
Engineered for precise alignment and consistent performance under demanding driving conditions.
