Adj Throwout Bearing GM

The McLeod Adj Throwout Bearing for GM vehicles is a precision-engineered clutch component designed for drivers who demand adjustability and reliability in their manual transmission setup. A throwout bearing is the critical link between your hydraulic or mechanical clutch actuation and the pressure plate fingers—when you depress the clutch pedal, this bearing disengages the engine from the transmission by pushing against the pressure plate. The adjustable design of this bearing makes it an essential upgrade for custom builds, heavy-duty applications, or any situation where clutch geometry has been modified or requires fine-tuning for optimal pedal feel and engagement characteristics.

Built to McLoed's exacting standards, the Adj Throwout Bearing features a 1.375-inch inner diameter and variable stack heights (1.350, 1.500, 1.650, or 1.800 inches) that allow you to dial in the exact geometry your clutch system requires. This adjustability is particularly valuable when running non-OEM pressure plates, lightweight flywheels, or custom bellhousings where stock bearing heights may no longer align properly. The compact 4.35 x 3.45 x 4.8-inch footprint and lightweight 1.09-pound design ensure minimal rotating mass while maintaining durability under repeated engagement cycles. Precision needle bearings within the assembly provide smooth, low-friction operation across extended use, reducing heat generation and extending clutch life.

This bearing is engineered specifically for GM manual transmissions and is ideal for street and competition builds where clutch feel and adjustability matter. Whether you're rebuilding a classic Chevy, tuning a modern Camaro, or dialing in a LS swap, the McLeod Adj Throwout Bearing delivers the flexibility to match your exact clutch pressure-plate combination. Installation requires removing the transmission and pressure plate assembly; selecting the correct stack height ensures your clutch pedal geometry is optimized for smooth, predictable actuation without creating excessive preload or dead zones.
