Howe Racing 82876 Details

Our T-5 throw out bearing is for GM-style Borg-Warner T-5 transmissions using an OEM or OEM replacement clutch. The base of the T-5 bearing is machined to fit the bearing retainer of the T-5 transmission. The compressed thickness is 1.516" and 2.065" fully extended giving .549" of travel. The inner diameter of the throw out bearing is 1.379".

It is known to fit many T-5 transmissions, but does not fit Ford versions. Use 3/4" bore clutch master cylinder.

Note: T/O bearing includes a 3/8" and 5/16" threaded retainer stud. If your T-5 makes use of a metric threaded front retainer bolt, to install this unit will require an installer to source a metric threaded stud or modified bolt as metric threaded hardware is not included.

perfect for auto to manual conversions

With the stock GM slave and clutch fork setup i would have had to track down custom headers or heavily modify mine, or even worse go back to manifolds. This hydraulic throwout bearing came in handy for my auto to manual swap in my GM G-body, and a stock third generation F-Body master cylinder will provide enough pump for full clutch travel.

Use another clutch method

Ordered and paid full price for the latest one of these. Received a "Garage Sale" item so was not happy. The box was torn open, baggies of spacers torn open and greasy fingerprints all over them. Instructions had clearly been opened and read by a grease monkey them returned. Did not fit my S10 T5 - was too short a throw. Needed excessive spacers to fit and leaked from the get go. Ordered the seal kit for my previous one which was the stock style and it worked fine but also leaked constantly. Ended up rebuilding the old TOB again an put in before I sold the car. "New" one went in the pile of parts with the car. Impossible to bleed well, trie the "External Bleeder hose kit" and it blew the side out of the line after three months. Use a stock linkage or a hydraulic slave on a bracket outside the bell housing over this item.

Never installed an internal slave before, thinking of using one of these had a question. My engine is a esrly 70s chevy 250 Inline 6, and the trans is a NWC T-5 from a late 80s s10 ( with a late 80s camaro T-5 input shaft ) would this work for that setup?

I am using this product in a flathead T5 swap. My transmission is from a 1984 S10. My engine is an 8BA with the truck bellhousing and I have an Offy "chevy style" adaptor. When I install the 1" spacer sold by speedway in conjunction with the included shims it puts the throw out bearing about 1/2" past the supplied stud used to hold the bearing in place. is this normal? Can I use a 1" longer stud to remedy this?

Can I use this with a 0.688" master cylinder? There are no aftermarket options available for a 1990 s10 as the clutch master cylinder has a tilted mounting flange.
