EJ Trans Bearing Go Boom, Anyone Have A Bearing Number?

Featured Replies

'96 OBW 200k

 

So been hearing some bearing noise for awhile. Finally starting hearing baaaad bearing noise so I took it off the road until I had time to pull the trans and have a looksie. I thought (was hoping) it was just in the input bearing as it had a bit of play when I did the clutch at around 180k, but when I got into it, seems the input bearing is OK (or at least not as bad as I thought) but the big bearing in back has gone to better life. I knew something wasn't good when I pulled the center diff off and I pulled chunks of bearing retainer out.

 

Anyway, this is the bad bearing, does anyone know the bearing number or the part number? I'm hoping they'll have it in stock or can get it from the warehouse instead of buying it online and waiting for shipping. The guy at my local dealer is kind of wank and won't give you the time of day if you're not a mopar guy so I'd like to go in there with the number if possible.

 

Thanks!!

Thanks for the schematic John, it would appear that #3 is the one I'm after, but they don't list any info for it, what gives? In the "next illustration" it's listed as #4 with a part number so maybe that's it?

 

Thanks!

Give me a bit. I just ordered one of those.

 

I can get the # of the box.

 

 

You will need a press to get that off.

 

Be very careful with the 5th gear assembly. Don't lose the little slider for the collars, they are a PITA to find when you drop them. I know from experience.

awesome! I pulled the old bearing off about an hour ago and I'm all ready for the new one.

...... I too now know it from experience :banghead: Luckily I found all three without much trouble.

 

Also, do you know the torque for that bolt in back? I was under the impression that is was supposed to be a lot. But when I unstaked the nut, it came right off with hardly any effort....

 

Thanks!
