T5 Upgraded Front Input Steel Retainer -Australian Ford Falcon's 6 Cylinder and V8.

The factory front bearing retainer is aluminium, and it wears where the clutch release bearing slides on it. Once that surface is grooved the release bearing stops running true, which shows up as clutch drag and a heavy or notchy pedal.

The second thing it does is add rigidity to the centre case. The T5 centre case is prone to distorting under heavy load, and a steel retainer bolted to the front of it stiffens the whole assembly - which keeps the shafts where they are meant to be instead of letting them move under load.

It is one of the modifications we fit to our own race T5's.

6 cylinder or V8?

These are made at V8 length. If yours is going into a 6 cylinder box, choose the 6 cylinder option above and we machine it down to suit before it ships. Same price either way.

Pick the wrong one and it will not fit, so if you are not certain which box you have, ring us on 0458 998 395 first.

Fits Ford World Class and non World Class T5 transmissions. Will not fit GM T5 transmissions.

Note: the front seal is not included. See the World Class T5 input shaft seal.

Worth fitting alongside the counter shaft steel retainer - between them they stiffen both ends of the case.

Located in Perth, Western Australia.

T5 buying information

Stock and availability

We hold World Class T5 parts in stock in Perth. If a part is listed on the site, it is on the shelf.

Parts that are out of stock are taken off the site rather than left listed, so you will not order something and then be told it is on back order.

Gearsets are the exception — allow around a week for dispatch on those.

Dispatch and delivery

Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days and posted from Perth, Western Australia.

Shipping is charged on the weight of your order, so small parts ship cheaply and you are not paying a flat rate for a seal.

Heavy items such as gearsets go by standard post only. If you need one urgently, get in touch and we will quote express.

Returns

If a part is not right, get in touch and we will sort it out. Full terms are on our refund policy page.

Rebuild services carry a 90 day warranty on workmanship.

Would you rather we rebuilt it?

We rebuild World Class T5 gearboxes to order. Send us the box, we strip and assess it, then quote you on standard and modified options before any work starts.

Usually 3 to 4 weeks from the arrival of your transmission. Call 0458 998 395 or see the T5 rebuild service.

Not sure which part you need?

T5s vary between World Class and non World Class, and between Ford and GM applications, so the same job can take different parts depending on what you have.

Tell us the car, the engine and what the box is doing, and we will confirm the right part before you buy. Send a photo if it is already apart.

If you are ordering a rebuild kit, see how to identify your input shaft pocket bearing.
