Upgrade your clutch system with this reinforced throw-out bearing cross shaft designed for transmission applications in classic rear engine vehicles produced between 1973 and 1979. Factory-style shafts often rely on small tack welds, which may fatigue under the stress of stronger pressure plates. This replacement takes a step up with continuous welds securing the vertical arms to the horizontal shaft, creating a sturdier design capable of meeting higher performance needs. With a large shaft diameter of 19.9 mm and a small end diameter of 17.9 mm, it provides accurate fitment for vehicles equipped with cross shaft systems using the 091 style bearing setup. A common weak point in aging vehicles, a failed shaft can cause costly damage to the clutch, disc, bearing, and flywheel. This unit is built to restore reliability and provide long-term service life, keeping your clutch assembly working consistently under both daily conditions and more spirited driving situations. Suitable for restorations, rebuilds, or performance-focused applications.
