It’s a cylindrical piece that basically slides over something else, usually a shaft or another part inside the gearbox. It provides support and helps maintain proper alignment. Sometimes it acts like a shield, protecting the underlying components from wear and tear or contamination. It can also help reduce friction where moving parts come together. Inside the gearbox, sleeves are pretty common. They help different gears and shafts work smoothly together, allowing power to transfer from the engine to the wheels. They’re usually found connecting pieces within the gear train, ensuring everything stays lined up and working as it should. You’ll find them in different locations depending on the vehicle, but generally, they’re tucked away inside the transmission. If a sleeve wears out or gets damaged, things will start to feel rough inside the gearbox. You’ll notice if it’s failing because you might start hearing noises – grinding or clunking sounds are a telltale sign. It can also cause shifting problems, or even complete transmission failure if left unchecked. They’re not expensive parts usually, and replacing a worn sleeve is a lot cheaper than rebuilding an entire gearbox. You can often find a good selection of sleeves at places like Fixparts Online, they carry a lot of different sizes and types for various vehicles. Ignoring it isn’t an option, though, because the damage can quickly spread. Upgrade your vehicle with Sleeve (MPN 0CS301473), covered for 12 months!
