Holley T56 Hydraulic Clutch Release Bearing Shim (.197″ Thick)

Precision-engineered CNC billet aluminum release bearing shim designed to achieve optimal hydraulic throwout bearing positioning and smooth clutch engagement on T56 manual transmissions.

Overview & Development

When executing a clutch upgrade or replacement on a T56 transmission, measuring hydraulic release bearing clearance is vital to ensure proper clutch disengagement and pedal travel. The Holley 319-203 release bearing shim provides a exact 0.197″ (5.0mm) thickness addition to position the hydraulic slave cylinder bearing assembly correctly relative to the clutch pressure plate diaphragm fingers. Precision CNC-machined from lightweight, high-strength billet aluminum, this shim eliminates clutch drag, inadequate release, and premature hydraulic bearing wear.

Key Features & Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

When installing aftermarket flywheels, clutch assemblies, or bellhousings on a T56 setup, the stack height changes. A shim like the Holley 319-203 spaces the hydraulic slave bearing forward to maintain the required operating clearance (typically 0.100" to 0.200"), ensuring full clutch disengagement and proper pedal height.

Measure the distance from the transmission face to the compressed release bearing (Measurement A) and compare it to the bellhousing mating face to the clutch fingers (Measurement B). Subtracting A from B yields your air gap clearance. If the gap is excessive by ~0.200", the .197" shim brings your hydraulic bearing into proper spec.

Yes, Holley shims (.059", .119", and .197") can be combined if required by your specific measurements. Always ensure you use sufficiently long grade-8 hardware and verify that the slave cylinder remains seated flush against the bearing support.
