Product Description

The Ford Racing M-7548-A is a heavy-duty self-aligning throwout bearing for select 1979-2004 Ford Mustang and 1984 Mercury Capri manual transmission applications. It is the clutch release bearing that rides on the bearing retainer and applies force to the diaphragm-style pressure plate during clutch disengagement. This part is intended for compatible manual transmission setups and is commonly used in Ford Performance clutch service and upgrade combinations.

Cross-validated source data identifies a 1.063-inch bearing retainer diameter, self-aligning design, and diaphragm pressure plate compatibility. Ford Performance clutch kit documentation also shows this bearing used in several Mustang performance clutch packages, including 1986-2001 Mustang GT and 1993-1998 Cobra T-5/T45 combinations, which helps confirm its role within those drivetrain combinations. This is not a lift or lowering component, so no lift or drop height applies.

Because throwout bearing fitment depends on transmission input/bearing-retainer dimensions and clutch style, this listing should remain tied to confirmed manual-transmission applications only. It should not be assigned to unrelated Ford platforms or non-matching clutch systems without direct drivetrain verification.
