Product Description

The McLeod 16505 Adjustable Throwout Bearing is a mechanical clutch release bearing engineered for use in a wide range of GM manual transmission applications. Featuring a 1.375" inside diameter and a generous 3.00" bearing face, this bearing is designed to deliver reliable performance and long service life in classic car restorations, custom builds, and performance clutch systems where linkage geometry varies.

What sets the 16505 apart is its adjustable height design, allowing the bearing to be configured to three different lengths by removing spacer sections. This flexibility makes it easier to achieve proper clutch fork geometry and engagement, especially when adapting engines and transmissions or repairing worn linkage setups. Built with angular contact constant-running bearings, the 16505 offers durability and smooth operation under repeated clutch cycling. Ideal for GM enthusiasts and rebuilders, this adjustable throwout bearing helps ensure accurate clutch engagement and extended component life.
