Throw Out Bearing & Shim Kit

The QUARTER MASTER Throw Out Bearing & Shim Kit (model 710100) is a precision hydraulic clutch release component engineered for high-performance manual transmissions. This slip-on throwout bearing assembly features a 2.00-inch contact surface and is designed as a direct replacement or upgrade for vehicles requiring reliable clutch disengagement under demanding driving conditions. The 710-series hydraulic design eliminates mechanical cable linkage, providing smoother pedal feel and more consistent release pressure across the full range of clutch travel.

Hydraulic throwout bearings isolate the release mechanism from road vibration and shock loads, reducing wear on bearing surfaces and extending service life compared to mechanical alternatives. The included shim kit allows precise adjustment of bearing runout and clutch clearance, critical for minimizing drag and ensuring full disengagement. The slip-on design simplifies installation on compatible transmission housings without requiring extensive machine work. At 2.52 lbs, this assembly adds minimal rotating mass while maintaining structural rigidity required for repeated engagement cycles in competition, street, and high-horsepower applications.

This kit is specified for vehicles using QUARTER MASTER clutch systems, particularly those equipped with their modular or integral flywheel platforms. Common applications include street machines, drag racing platforms, and performance-modified vehicles where factory cable-actuated release mechanisms have been replaced with modern hydraulic actuation. The 710-series is positioned as a mid-range option within QUARTER MASTER's lineup, balancing cost-effectiveness with durability for serious enthusiasts who demand predictable clutch feel and long-term reliability.
