⚠️ 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.
