Message: [QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1498855, member: 29749"] The second pic is the quill? As far as sleeving the input shaft, that should be fine, as long as the sleeve is Pressfit to the input shaft. ------------ ZF calls the thowout bearing (clutch release bearing) tube a 'quill'. Toploaders call it the input shaft bearing retainer. That said, you have me curious about something. I still have the old input shaft with that silly snake oil sleeve on it. I think I will install the old input shaft on my metal lathe and mount my dial indicator on it to check the input shaft nose surface for total 'run-out'. This ought to be interesting. Much will be revealed about the speculation if 'it's okay to do so'. This will tell me how tall the ridges are from that needle bearing that went away. You can make your own mind up as to whether or not a sleeve is a 'good thing'. Honestly, this sleeve reminds me of an old BS trick people did to quiet down their truck trans back in the 50's. Throw in a hand-full of sawdust, and promptly SELL IT. [/QUOTE]
