TOB sleeve

[SlowJoe]

got to really looking at it today and found this at first look. what would cause this to break?

[rtusnake]

Just wear and tear usually. Most are welded around that seem and they usually break. I never broke mine but have replaced it with a one piece unit. Not sure if they are the same from a t56 but they are about $100

my pilot bearing was in a 1000 pieces to:(

Its a steel sleeve pressed into an aluminum housing, I am guessing its a 3650?
I have seen the pressed in SN95 T5 bearing reatiners seperate and the old fox all aluminum reatiners break but I have had very little exposure to the later transmissions.

When the pilot bearing goes south it will kill the bearings in the input shaft as in the pocket bearings and the Torrington(thrust), If run long enough it will eat up the input gear(aka the main drive gear) and the countershaft(aka cluster gear) along with the pilot end of the main shaft.
As far as the release bearing(aka TOB)sleeve I would say it died from vibration.
