6MT throwout bearing and clutch system shenanigans

Me personally. Yes. That’s the direction I am headed.

 

Out of curiosity. What are the dimensions of the bearing that you dissected? Like the actual bearing bearing.

 

@BillDaCat8 i don’t know these parts as well as you do, do you think this will work for someone that doesn’t have the quill in the bell housing ? (Like myself )

 

73.4 OD 51.8 ID w/o welded in sleeve, 47.7 with.

 

The way I’m doing it, no. You still have the Ürd fix-u thingy don’t you?

 

I should just be able to mount the bearing on there ? How are you planning on doing it ?

 

Thank you.

 

Your findings are exciting

 

Well I like where this is heading. I still think bleeding mine might be the solution, but a solid backup plan is always good to have

 

PM’d you

 

It’s all built in my head. Just need the parts in hand now. Looks like Tilton has taken the week off though.

 

I like and dislike this all at the same time. Holiday cock block

 

Subbed

 

Good news.

I got ahold of Tilton today. He says that my goodies should ship out this afternoon. So, hopefully I’ll be tinkering more seriously next week.

 

Look what showed up yesterday. Giggity.

I just did a quick test fit. The sleeve fits the quill perfectly. As it it were made for it.

 

So, the Supra bearing is a bit smaller than 2” that I need for the Tilton piston.

Which, isn’t a big deal. I can machine .0085” out of the center of it if I need to.

I’ve found a couple of other bearings that could do the trick. So, I’ve ordered them as well.




The exciting thing about the N1610 being the grease zerk. Both of these bearings are special orders through Summit. So, it’s going to be mid-January until I see them. Ugh.

 

how is the TOB fixed to the quill? Having a hard time visualizing how that retainer sleeve works

 

VERY Nice work Jake!

 

The threaded sleeve slides onto the quill. It’s held snug with an oring that slips into a groove machined on it’s inside bore. The sleeve can be rotated to move the unit closer or further to/from the pressure plate.

Did you get my PM?

 

yessir just replied , thanks.

do you expect this tilton bearing to play nice with the oe clutch master cylinder ?
