PDM TranQuil TSK3 Snout Release Bearing & Sleeve Repair Kit (Subaru)

These are the most common symptoms associated with a damaged or grooved quill on a transmission.  It is also referred to as the snout, bearing carrier, or case extension.  In most cases it is an integral part of the transmission case & cannot be replaced.  The logical solution is to replace the case or the transmission.  Both options are expensive & time consuming, neither of which solves the problem permanently.

THE CAUSE

In the operation of the clutch, the release or throw-out bearing slides on the clutch snout or quill, allowing you to engage and disc-engage the clutch mechanism.  Due to various reasons the quill becomes grooved over time.  If the quill were made of a harder metal than aluminum, this would not be as common.  The most common causes are: improper clutch adjustment, defective clutch assemblies, stop & go traffic, keeping your foot on the clutch (commonly referred to as riding the clutch), loss of lubricant, heat, & etc.

THE EFFECT

The effects of these grooves on the clutch operation are catastrophic.  They cause: premature clutch disc wear, premature bearing failure (further adding to the problem), sticky &/or jerky pedal travel, rattling clutch forks, transmission damage, etc.

THE SOLUTION

The Transmission Sleeve Kit (TSK) solves this problem by utilizing a sleeve, precision machined of 304 Stainless steel, which slips over the original quill. This provides a smooth, hard surface for the oversize bearing to slide on. It is anchored with set screws and is removable & re-usable. As in the case of the Subaru, it must be removed in order to allow any transmission repairs.
