Pulled the Daughters 99 Impreza trans, the quill shaft has significant wear.  I spent some time and sanded down the ridges and it's smooth now but the throwout bearing has more play than it should.  Looking for a sleeve repair.

 

Anyone have any feed back on this repair/kit?

Looks like a quality kit. Also looks like the sleeve could be removable. The ones I've seen the sleeve is a press fit and has to be cut off. Those are generally much less expensive, but if you ever have to split the trans case you have to get a new sleeve.

 

I would try to find out the manufacturer of the release bearing they use. If the bearing is good quality I would go for it.

Where have you gotten the press on sleeve from?  I did a few searches but came up empty.  I do have the kit, $140 from the  local Subaru Dealer.

I got one from autozone, but it came with the clutch kit I bought. I was short on time and couldn't wait for an Exedy kit to be shipped. Worked out though because the quill on my transmission was quite worn, and the sleeve seems to have helped with the clutch chatter issue I was having, though I don't notice any difference in the way the clutch feels.
