Part number pointer to Tkx hrb conversion adapter?

[danmas]

Hey gang,

I’m coming up with an issue getting my Tkx to work with my tilton 6100 hrb. The Tkx is currently rigged for a manual clutch. I need to change the adapter plate to mount my tilton 6100 hydraulic release bearing but I can’t seem to find a pointer to order that part. Also, I assume that the following clutch will work:

RAM Powergrip HD Clutch Kits
Clutch Kit, Powergrip HD, Metallic, 1 1/8 in.- 26-Spline, 10.5 in. Disc, Ford, Mercury, 5.0L, Kit

Anyone know if I have a problem here? Pointers or advice gratefully accepted.

Thanks,

Dan

A follow up on this for anyone that is learning as much as I am. The Tilton HRB works just fine with the Tremac TKX. One must persuade it a bit to get it on the shaft. I was confused because a lot of the on line learning shows adapter plates and what not. The reason I couldn't find a part number is because it is not needed. I finally have my engine and transmission put together. Big shout out to folks that helped me with advice and a huge shout out to Kleiner for telling me about the clutch plate alignment pins. Hopefully things will pick up a bit faster now. I am going to dry fit the engine to see where things line up and then run my fuel system and wiring harness for my electronic ebrake.

Thanks everyone.

When you say pointer are you talking about the adapter that goes on the input bearing of the trans with the post sticking out for the bearing to slide over? If so, Summit Racing has them.

Hi GGunter,

No, I had that. It fixes the HRB in place. The center ring in the hrb adjust the distance between the transmission and the clutch. I had a rough time getting it over the center spindle. So, I thought I need a smaller one. When I measured, I realized there was only a 1/1000 difference and the ring was getting hung up on an o-ring. So, I just polished the center spindle a little bit and provided some motivation to the ring and it slid right on. Since I have never done this before I was going slow and checking all kinds of on-line resources. Now that I know it just slides on, next time will be easier. I just provided an update in case someone like me needed to benefit from my experience.

Regards,
Dan
