biggreen96 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 We are trying to find the actual manufacturer part #. PDM buys them and triples the price. The other release bearings PDM uses for their TSK1 & 2 kits are Toyota parts, but noone seems to know what the TSK3 kit bearing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino6303 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) I posted some part numbers somewhere here. I think it is from a 1995 toyota celica or something. I'll look for it again. Nope. Edited July 25, 2023 by rhino6303 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Pic on the SKF website (SKF 4087) does not appear to be the same bearing used in a TSK-3 kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino6303 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Well, I just bought one to finally check. I don't have a sleeve but can get measurements for anyone when it shows up. I bought the 614147 part number for $12 shipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KZJonny Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Subbing on this one. Due to actually get around to a SMFW swap + new clutch. Wanted to do the TSK kit as a preventative, but was deterred by the cost of the replacement bearings for a problem I don't have yet. If this 'Yota part fits, and is available for a reasonable price, then I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's smaller diameter than an oem bearing. I stopped searching. There are a few others that seem like they'd fit but I lost interest searching. Heck, I don't even use the tsk kit, lol.

xt2005bonbon Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 What do you use now? Just oem style bearing then? Any specific brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I may do the same on my next clutch replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottFW Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) I did a clutch replacement a few weeks ago. Had been running the TSK3 kit for the past 200K miles that I piled onto the old clutch (lots of highway driving, not a ton of shifting) and the PDM bearing lasted that long without issue, so I just decided to eat the cost and buy the bearing from smartqualityparts. However, I see there are sleeve & bearing kits on Amazon now that I would guess are probably similarly/identically sized. If you search PDM TSK3, the first result is a ClutchMax branded sleeve & bearing kit for $40. If anyone wants to buy one of those and take measurements, I saved my old TSK3 bearing and we could compare. But off the top of my head, the main difference is just that the ID is about 2 mm larger to fit over the sleeve. An OEM style throwout bearing has a 33 mm ID whereas the TSK3 bearing is 35 mm (might be 34.9x mm). Aside from the measurements, bearing quality might be a bit of an unknown. That's the main reason I just ate the cost of a new PDM bearing. Known good, and I'm NOT doing this job again. But the PDM bearing is definitely on the exploitative end of the price spectrum, so I'm sure some intrepid individuals will guinea pig that ClutchMax bearing.
