The Ford Racing T-5 bearing retainer for early-style manual transmissions features a steel throwout bearing sleeve and an aluminum mounting flange to reduce flex and promote more consistent clutch engagement. This replacement retainer specifies a sleeve length from the transmission face to the end of 4.480 in., providing firmer support for the throwout bearing in T-5 applications where reduced flex helps smoother engagement.
