- RAM GM/Tremec Hydraulic Throwout Bearing Kit
Ram has created this Hydraulic Throwout Bearing Kit specifically for the coupling of the Tremec TKO 5-speed transmission with a dual-disc clutch-flywheel assembly to both Chevrolet small and big blocks. Combining Tremec's 5-speed with the more effective high-performance dual-disc clutch-flywheel assembly and adapting them for use with small and big block Chevrolet engines was not easily possible, until now.

Equipped with a shallow base, Ram's hydraulic throwout bearing kit accepts all single and dual-disc clutch assemblies up to 0.150" taller than the original single-disc arrangement. Dual-disc clutches require a spacing of approximately 0.200" between clutch diaphragm fingers and release bearing, while single-disc units require 0.150". To adjust the gap correctly, spacers of 0.100in and shims of 0.045in thick are provided in the kit. Ram also provides the installer with the measuring information to determine the exact position of the fully retracted throwout bearing relevant to the diaphragm fingers.
