Hays Special Bearing

The Hays Special Bearing is a precision-engineered throwout bearing designed for high-performance GM clutch systems. Built for drivers who demand reliable engagement and smooth clutch modulation, this mechanical throwout bearing serves as the critical link between the clutch pedal and pressure plate. Whether you're upgrading a stock system or rebuilding a performance setup, the Hays Special Bearing delivers the consistent, repeatable feel that serious enthusiasts expect from a name-brand component.

With a 1.375-inch inner diameter and 1.182-inch height, this bearing is engineered to fit GM-specific clutch assemblies and maintain precise tolerances under load. The mechanical design eliminates hydraulic complexity, offering direct, predictable actuation that resists fade and provides tactile feedback throughout the clutch travel. The compact 0.7 lb weight keeps parasitic rotational mass low, reducing drivetrain inertia and improving throttle response. Hays bearings are known for robust construction and consistent performance across multiple heat cycles, making them a trusted choice in both street and competition environments.

This throwout bearing is ideal for GM vehicle owners replacing worn clutch components, upgrading from stock systems, or installing performance clutches that demand precision engagement. Installation requires proper alignment with the clutch fork and diaphragm fingers to ensure even load distribution and prevent bearing noise or premature wear. If you're rebuilding a T56, Tremec, or comparable GM manual transmission, the Hays Special Bearing ensures your new clutch package operates at peak efficiency. Check your vehicle's year, model, and transmission configuration before ordering to confirm fitment with your specific assembly.
