Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission position and vehicle application before installation, since this bearing is listed for both Left and Rear positions depending on model and year. Confirm the 25 mm inside diameter, 60 mm outside diameter, and race widths against the original bearing before assembly. Clean the housing and mating surfaces thoroughly, and inspect related transmission components for wear that could affect bearing performance.
