I have a T5 in the white Javelin from a 92 Mustang GT. The front bearing retainer had a few slight scratches but not really any deep gouges like the descriptions I'd also heard. I put a steel bearing retainer on so as not to experience this problem. I have an SR-4 from a 79 Spirit AMX. No damage on the bearing retainer. P.S. The 79 SR-4 is for sale if anyone is interested. $50.00 It needs bearings and seals to be 100% again.

Three now. On Ford T5s the input/bearing retainers score and wear causing the throw out bearings to hang and bind. Not one of my AMC T5s has any signs of this. None. This one I just bought is like new. The other two are much the same. Pure coincidence? Or did Ford manage to screw up something with their cable pull system that put more side load on the sleeve? Survey says? Anyone got any T series or SR4s laying around? What do they look like?
