Key Features
- 3/4" tall slip-on spacer with 1.430" inner diameter - sized for Ford TREMEC bearing retainer guide tubes
- Aluminum construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- Slip-on design installs directly onto transmission guide tube - no machining or modification required
- Prevents hydraulic release bearing overextension and seal blowout caused by aftermarket clutch stack height differences
- Compatible with Ford T5, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions using external slave cylinder systems
- Does not affect pedal position or feel - simply repositions the throw-out bearing for proper travel
Description
Aftermarket clutches frequently alter the stack height compared to factory specifications, forcing the hydraulic throwout bearing to overextend during clutch disengagement. When the bearing pushes too far, it blows out its internal seals - causing complete hydraulic pressure loss that leaves you stranded with a clutch that won't disengage. This 3/4" slip-on guide tube spacer eliminates that failure point by repositioning the release bearing closer to the pressure plate fingers from the start.
The spacer installs between the transmission bearing retainer base and the throwout bearing assembly, reducing the total travel distance required to achieve full clutch release. By placing the bearing at the correct working height, it stays within its designed operating range throughout the pedal stroke - preventing the overextension that destroys seals. The 1.430" inner diameter is precisely sized to slip over Ford TREMEC guide tubes, and the aluminum construction resists corrosion while adding minimal weight.
Installation is straightforward: slide the spacer over the bearing retainer guide tube during your hydraulic clutch system installation. No machining, no permanent modifications, and no special tools required. The 3/4" height provides the correction needed for most Ford TREMEC applications where aftermarket clutch kits have created excess clearance between the throwout bearing and pressure plate fingers.
Compatible with Ford T5, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions when used with external slave cylinder hydraulic clutch systems. Essential for any build running an aftermarket clutch that has changed the finger height or overall clutch assembly stack height from OEM specifications.
