Release Arm Pivots

GM Clutch Pivots

Replace your GM bellhousing clutch release arm pivot with either the original style, or an adjustable version.

GM Factory Version

GM Bellhousing Pivot

This is the original height pivot for GM / CHevy bellhousings. It works for many factory clutch situations. However, for more range of adjustment, consider the adjustable pivot, below.

Adjustable Version

Adjustable GM clutch pivot

This adjustable release arm pivot is our recommendation. It gives height variability, allows more distance from the rear of the release arm to bellhousing window for greater articulation and reduced strain on the bellhousing boot.

Adjustable clutch fork pivot
The adjustable pivot provides almost 3/8" more height than the factory pivot.

Retention Style Pivot

GM pivot with retention stud

This is GM's retention style pivot for release arms that have a hole drilled through their pivot. Some of these arms did not feature a spring clip, and in some cases, installers may choose to ditch the spring clip for this style.

This release bearing assembly uses a telescoping and locking design which spans the range of shortest to longest GM throwout beareings that were ever available. It is helpful if the installer wants a one-and-done solution that avoids trips to the parts store, and sometimes for bearing heights that just aren't made anymore by GM or the aftermarket.

We strongly recommend that the installer read our Guide to Clutches, Linkages & Bellhousings, to best understand the above arms and the clutch system, generally. Throws and clearances are discussed there and adherence to those methods will yield a successful installation.
