The HOWE Hydraulic Throw Out Bearing for Stock Clutch (Part No. 82876) is a precision hydraulic release bearing engineered for T5 transmission applications. This component serves as the intermediary between the hydraulic clutch system and the pressure plate, translating hydraulic pressure into mechanical release motion. Built to OEM specifications, this throwout bearing maintains reliability in both street and performance driving environments where consistent clutch engagement and disengagement are critical.
The bearing features a 1.379-inch inner diameter and 1.513-inch compressed height, with 0.536 inches of travel—dimensions that directly correlate to proper clutch pedal feel and hydraulic system response. These specifications ensure the throwout bearing operates within the designed envelope of stock clutch systems, preventing binding and premature wear. Weighing 1.66 pounds and measuring 4.4 x 2.75 x 6.05 inches, the unit integrates seamlessly into factory clutch housings without modification. The compressed height is particularly important: insufficient height causes incomplete clutch release and drag, while excessive height creates excessive pedal free play and potential system noise.
This bearing is designed for builders and enthusiasts maintaining OEM clutch configurations on T5-equipped vehicles. Whether replacing a worn original bearing due to noise, slip, or engagement issues, or installing a fresh unit during transmission service, the HOWE hydraulic throwout bearing delivers the precision fit and performance expected in stock clutch applications. It's an essential component for anyone seeking reliable clutch operation without aftermarket modifications.
Proper throwout bearing selection is often overlooked in clutch service, yet its condition directly affects pedal response, transmission longevity, and overall drivability. The HOWE unit maintains hydraulic system pressure delivery and mechanical accuracy that inferior or worn bearings cannot match, making it a sound investment for any serious transmission rebuild or maintenance project.
