💪 What’s in the Kit?

  • CNC-machined stainless steel sleeve

  • Oversized clutch release bearing (sleeve-specific)

  • Bearing clip

  • Hardware

  • High-temp specialty grease

  • Detailed installation instructions

🔧 Symptoms Fixed by the TSK81 Kit

  • Clutch chatter or engagement noise

  • Vibrations during clutch operation

  • Sticky, stiff, or inconsistent clutch pedal feel

  • Throw-out bearing misalignment or rapid wear

  • Scoring or deformation of the aluminum bellhousing sleeve surface

⚠️ The Problem with OEM Design

Many Ford manual transmissions use cast aluminum bellhousing extensions or sleeves that degrade over time from constant bearing contact and heat cycles:

  • Surface wear causes bearing misalignment

  • Damaged sleeves create noise, chatter, and engagement issues

  • Aluminum wear leads to costly bellhousing replacements

  • 🛡️ Installs a precision-fit stainless steel bearing surface to replace worn aluminum

  • 🚫 Prevents future wear and expensive repairs

  • 🔧 Installs in minutes without modification or machining

  • ⏳ Extends service life of clutch, bearing, and input shaft

  • ♻️ Fully reversible and compatible with OEM or aftermarket components

🌍 Proven Durability

Trusted by classic Ford restorers, heavy-duty fleet service techs, and performance clutch builders—built to restore and reinforce where the OEM solution fails.
