Hyd. Release Bearing Kit GM T5 Trans

The RAM CLUTCH Hydraulic Release Bearing Kit for GM T5 Transmission is a direct bolt-on solution engineered for drivers upgrading their manual transmission clutch system with modern hydraulic actuation. This throwout bearing kit replaces mechanical cable or rod linkage with a precision hydraulic design, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and delivering consistent clutch feel across repeated engagements. Whether you're building a street machine, restoring a classic with modern driveline upgrades, or retrofitting a vehicle with a T5 swap, this hydraulic release bearing addresses the limitations of older mechanical systems and provides the reliability expected in modern manual transmission applications.

Designed specifically for GM T5 transmissions, this kit features braided stainless steel hydraulic lines that withstand high-pressure cycles and resist corrosion in engine bay environments. The hydraulic throwout bearing operates via fluid pressure rather than mechanical force, which reduces shock loads on the clutch fork and extends clutch component life. The bolt-on design integrates directly with existing T5 bell housing geometry, requiring no frame modifications or custom fabrication. The compact assembly measures 5.2 x 4.35 x 5.2 inches and weighs just 1.61 pounds, making it lightweight enough for performance builds without sacrificing structural integrity or pressure capacity.

This release bearing kit is ideal for engine swap builders, performance transmission conversions, and anyone modernizing a manual clutch system with hydraulic actuation. The braided stainless lines accommodate both compact and full-size engine bay layouts common in street rods, drag racing platforms, and vintage vehicle restorations. Proper installation requires integration with a master cylinder and bleeding procedure; ensure your hydraulic clutch circuit is properly sized for T5 pressure requirements. Compatible with GM T5 transmission flanges and bell housings, this throwout bearing delivers the precision engagement control demanded by drivers who depend on consistent clutch modulation in performance or daily-driven applications.
