Description
External slave cylinders don't always play nice with every build. Sometimes there's interference with headers, sometimes no external kit even exists for your combination. This Tilton 6000 Series hydraulic release bearing solves both problems by mounting directly onto the Ford T5's bearing retainer, moving the entire hydraulic actuation inside the bellhousing where clearance is never an issue.
The engineering behind this bearing eliminates mechanical linkages, pivot balls, and external slaves entirely. The high-temperature monoseal with quad tensioner design ensures leak-free operation under demanding conditions, while the constant contact system means the bearing automatically compensates for clutch wear--no readjustment needed, and consistent pedal feel throughout the clutch's service life. No return springs or helper springs are required or recommended.
The stainless steel threaded sleeve allows nearly 1.25" of height adjustment (1.77" to 3.00"), letting you dial in the perfect setup for virtually any clutch configuration from 8.5" to 11" diameter. The full 0.700" of piston travel handles both three-finger and diaphragm-style pressure plates with ease. Tilton's billet aluminum construction and precision machining deliver race-proven reliability at a competitive price point.
This is a complete kit--no additional components required for installation. Fits Ford T5 transmissions with 1.410" guide tube OD. Note that this part uses metric anti-rotation pin threads specific to the T5 and will not fit TKO or TKX transmissions. Compatibility extends to most bellhousings, making this a versatile upgrade for Ford T5-equipped builds. Backed by MDL lifetime technical support.
