Description
When you're converting to hydraulic clutch actuation or replacing a worn factory guide tube, this steel guide tube delivers the precision fitment and durability your T56 Magnum build demands. The 1.410-inch diameter matches the Ford T5 guide tube specification, making it compatible with hydraulic release bearings designed for that platform while providing the robust mounting foundation needed for reliable clutch operation.
The T56 Magnum front face includes a mounting pad engineered to accept either an OEM-style hydraulic slave cylinder or an aftermarket guide tube. This steel guide tube bolts directly to that mounting pad, giving you flexibility in your hydraulic setup without compromising performance. Steel construction eliminates the dimensional instability and premature wear that can plague aluminum tubes under the heat cycling and mechanical stress of high-torque applications.
Broad transmission compatibility makes this guide tube a versatile solution for multiple build platforms. It fits Ford and GM T56 Magnums, Ford T56 transmissions, LS-powered T56 applications, Viper T56 units, and 2005-2009 Ford 3650 five-speed transmissions. The precision-machined bore ensures your hydraulic release bearing tracks true throughout its travel range, delivering consistent pedal feel and extended bearing life.
Whether you're building a street/strip Mustang, an LS-swapped classic, or upgrading a late-model performance car to a stronger clutch setup, proper guide tube alignment is critical for hydraulic clutch system reliability. This steel guide tube provides the foundation your build needs.
