🔧 Symptoms Fixed by the TSK42 Kit

• Clutch chatter or vibration

• Excessive noise during clutch operation

• Sticky or stiff clutch pedal

• Rough or inconsistent pedal travel

• Premature wear or failure of clutch components

• Wear or scoring on the aluminum transmission case extension

⚠️ The Problem with OEM Design

Toyota's aluminum transmission case extensions are prone to wear due to constant contact with the clutch release bearing. Over time this causes:

• Surface damage and scoring

• Sloppy clutch engagement

• Noise and vibration

• Recurrent failure of replacement parts

✅ The TSK42 Kit Advantage

Unlike OEM-style repairs that only delay wear, the TSK42 kit offers a permanent upgrade by:

• 🛡️ Reinforcing soft aluminum with durable stainless steel

• 🚫 Eliminating future wear at the bearing contact point

• 🔧 Installing in under 5 minutes—no transmission modification required

• ⏳ Extending the life of clutch, transmission, and related parts

• ♻️ Fully reversible and compatible with OEM or performance clutch systems

🌍 Proven Performance

Trusted by enthusiasts, mechanics, and shops worldwide for applications across street, rally, and sport-compact builds.
