Potentially Huge T5 Breakthrough!
I posted a picture of the Jeep bellhousing.
Novak makes an adjustable throwout bearing... so that helps with that. The inside diameter of this throwout bearing may not be right but there is something out there that will work... there always is... and there's nothing we cant build! :-D
Hell if this it the only throwout bearing that will work... we could probably get the input bearing retainer from an AX15 that works with this and weld the sleeve of it to the retainer of the T5.
Clutch Release System
This conversion requires a hydraulic clutch release system, and nearly every Jeep will benefit greatly from an upgrade to this if it doesn't already feature it. Use of a mechanical clutch would be contraindicated for a variety of reasons. The heart of the success of any clutch release system is the throwout bearing. Our adjustable one is the ace up your sleeve.
There is no combination of factory clutches and release bearings that will provide the right spacing and geometry for proper clutch release and operation for this conversion and the variety of clutch finger heights. Few bearing length options were available from the factory and even fewer of those are available on the market now. However, Novak's fully adjustable release bearing eliminates this problem and permits very fine adjustment for optimal clutch action.
