Piston Hydraulic Release Bearing 1.715in Bore

The Piston Hydraulic Release Bearing 1.715in Bore by TILTON is a precision-engineered component designed for high-performance clutch systems in competition and modified vehicles. This hydraulic release bearing serves as the critical interface between your hydraulic clutch actuation system and the transmission's pressure plate, enabling smooth engagement and disengagement under demanding driving conditions. Whether you're building a track-focused machine or upgrading a street performance vehicle, this bearing is essential for reliable clutch modulation and reduced pedal effort.

TILTON's piston-style release bearing features a 1.715-inch bore diameter, designed to effectively manage hydraulic pressure during clutch operation. The sealed piston design minimizes friction and wear while maintaining dimensional stability under thermal cycling—critical when dealing with aggressive downshifts and sustained high-RPM operation. Its compact form factor allows integration into tight bell-housing environments common in street rod, race car, and heavily modified OEM platforms.

Mechanics and performance builders installing hydraulic clutch conversion kits will find this TILTON bearing ideal for custom engine swaps, sequential gearbox applications, and independently designed clutch systems. Its lightweight construction (8 oz) reduces rotational mass, contributing to faster clutch engagement response and improved driver feedback. This bearing is a reliable choice for those looking to enhance their vehicle's performance and responsiveness.
