Throttle Assembly for 1998-2002 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird
When swapping a T56 gearbox into a 1998 to 2002 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird, the Hydraulic Throwout Bearing Assembly eliminates alignment issues and simplifies fluid routing for reliable clutch operation. Machined to match the factory bellhousing pattern, it maintains precise axial alignment with the transmission input shaft while preserving the stock tunnel profile. Installers will appreciate the comprehensive hardware kit and detailed instructions for bearing installation, hose connection, and system bleeding. Drivers then enjoy chatter-free engagement and a consistent pedal feel from the first shift through demanding track and street use.
Precision Bellhousing Matching for Camaro and Firebird
This throwout bearing assembly is machined to the exact factory bellhousing pattern used in 1998–2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, ensuring perfect axial alignment with the T56 transmission input shaft. By matching the original mounting locations, it eliminates any misalignment that can lead to clutch chatter, uneven wear, or vibration. Preservation of the stock tunnel profile means no cutting or reshaping is required, maintaining the vehicle's structural integrity and saving valuable installation time. The result is a seamless interface that delivers consistent clutch engagement from the very first shift.
Streamlined T56 Transmission Installation Process
The included hardware kit and step-by-step instructions guide installers through every stage of the swap, from positioning the bearing assembly in the bellhousing to routing the hydraulic hose and bleeding the system. Factory style guide studs and mounting points allow for one-pass fitting without mock-ups or repeated adjustments, reducing shop time and frustration. Clear fluid line routing diagrams help prevent kinks and ensure optimal pressure delivery, so builders can complete each installation with confidence and precision.
Robust Steel Alloy Construction for Enduring Performance
Crafted from precision-machined hardened steel alloy to OEM standards, this bearing housing stands up to the demands of high stress driving and repeated use. Internal seals guard the piston against contamination and fluid loss, guaranteeing reliable actuation over thousands of cycles. The solid steel design resists deformation under load, preserving pedal consistency and preventing premature component failure. This level of durability ensures drivers enjoy the same firm, predictable feel in daily driving and track conditions alike.
Responsive Hydraulic Clutch Engagement and Feel
Transitioning from a mechanical linkage to hydraulic actuation delivers a smoother, more linear pedal response and reduces fatigue during spirited driving or long commutes. The hydraulic system cushions initial engagement forces, providing crisp yet controlled clutch releases that improve power transfer under aggressive launches. Consistent fluid pressure maintains the same feel shift after shift, even during rapid downshifts or hard launches. Drivers gain clearer feedback at the pedal, enhancing confidence and control when it matters most.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable performance in your Camaro or Firebird swap.
