Direct Fit Throttle Assembly for 1998-2002 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird
When adapting a T56 transmission to a 1998-2002 Camaro or Firebird, this Hydraulic Throwout Bearing Assembly addresses alignment issues and simplifies fluid routing for precise clutch engagement. Machined to the factory bellhousing pattern, it preserves the stock tunnel profile and ensures perfect axial alignment with the gearbox input shaft. Installers will find the included hardware kit and clear instructions speed up integration, eliminating guesswork during hose connection and system bleeding. Consistent clutch feel and chatter-free operation make every shift predictable, even under sustained track or spirited street driving.
Precision Bellhousing Alignment for 1998 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird
This hydraulic throwout bearing is machined to the exact factory bellhousing pattern for 1998 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird models, guaranteeing flawless axial alignment with the T56 input shaft. Matching original mounting locations eliminates misalignment that leads to clutch chatter and uneven wear. Preserving the stock tunnel profile removes the need for chassis modifications, saving installation time and maintaining vehicle integrity. The precise fit delivers consistent clutch engagement geometry, enhancing shift quality under all driving conditions.
Comprehensive Installation Hardware and Step by Step Guidance
The assembly includes all required mounting studs, bolts and brackets, along with detailed instructions that guide installers through each stage of the swap. Factory style guide studs allow one pass fitting in the bellhousing, avoiding repeated adjustments. Clear diagrams for hydraulic hose routing prevent kinks and ensure optimal pressure delivery to the throwout piston. Step by step bleeding directions remove trapped air, delivering consistent pedal feel from the first shift.
Durable Steel Alloy Housing Engineered for Long Term Use
Precision machined from hardened steel alloy, the bearing housing meets or exceeds factory standards for strength and wear resistance. Internal seals guard the piston chamber against contamination and fluid leaks, extending service intervals. The robust housing resists deformation under high load, preserving smooth bearing travel and even pressure application. This durability supports repeated shifts during spirited driving or track use, ensuring consistent pedal feel over thousands of cycles.
Hydraulic Actuation for Smooth Responsive Clutch Engagement
Switching from mechanical linkage to hydraulic control produces a more linear pedal response and reduces driver fatigue on long drives or spirited runs. Hydraulic cushioning of initial engagement forces results in crisp yet controlled clutch releases that enhance power transfer during aggressive launches. Precise fluid pressure ensures uniform feel shift after shift, even in rapid downshift scenarios. Clear pedal feedback gives drivers confidence in locating the clutch engagement point every time.
Built to exacting tolerances, this bearing assembly ensures smooth, consistent clutch engagement and lasting reliability.
