I am pretty sure it came with the GM Hyd throw-out bearing. I will have to double check my spec sheet. Yours died quickly? Then you changed to the tilton?
They didn't die too quick, more like they never bleed well, and seem to take on dust from the clutch into the fluid faster than the aftermarket stuff. I've had two T56 swapped cars now and always used the stock hyd throw-out bearing and stock LS7 clutch (good for about 400hp / torque). They both had the same issues and I bled them all different kinds of way - no luck. Put the tilton in the G-body back in March - has worked perfect ever since with some back road fun driving with a twin disk clutch. If yours acts funny I'd recommend the tilton swap. Just my .02
