This part cross-references 16X207M and 01720AB for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive bearing noise from the manual transmission
• Rough or inconsistent shaft rotation
• Wear-related play at the rear bearing location
• Transmission service needs on 1955-1956 Chrysler New Yorker, Newport, or Town & Country
• Replacement of a bearing with matching 1.378 x 2.834 x 0.669 dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions against the removed part before installation, since manual transmission bearings must match the shaft and housing precisely. Clean the mating surfaces, inspect the transmission components for scoring or abnormal wear, and confirm rear-position placement before assembly. For best results, compare the original bearing markings and dimensions with SKF 207-J prior to service.
