Hey all, and yes i searched the forums.

My lovely Fidanza TOB has destroyed the retainer sleeve in my 2000 GT, i ordered a new one from Hanlon Motorsports but the guy doing the work for me is saying its the wrong sleeve, as did Hanlon. He is saying there really isnt a way to get the stock one out.

Anyone replace this before or have any exp doing it? Thanks

Are you talking about that little spring-like thing that holds the TOB to the clutch fork? Just buy a new clutch fork and TOB and call it a day.

honestly from what i have been told. there is nothing better than fords oem tob stick with stock. anyone feel free to correct me if you wrong. andif its hard to get out you might need to get a slide hammer with inverted prongs

Im talking about the sleeve tube that the TOB rides on.

...the input shaft? The TOB slides on your input shaft and is held in place by the clutch fork.

If not, pics of said part.

Not the input shaft. Its through the sleeve tho. :yes
