What It Helps Address

• Transmission noise from a worn input shaft bearing
• Rough or inconsistent bearing rotation inside the manual transaxle
• Contamination-related wear from moisture or road debris
• Loss of smooth drivetrain operation during shifting
• Premature bearing wear in high-mileage Toyota and Scion manual transmissions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions and position before installation: 33 mm inside diameter, 80 mm outside diameter, and 19 mm outer race width. Confirm the vehicle application and transmission position against the fitment list for your Toyota Camry, RAV4, Solara, MR2, Matrix, Corolla, Scion xB, or Scion tC. Clean the transmission housing thoroughly and inspect adjacent components for wear before assembly.
