trans parts

[AL67]

Oh i have some cars, but only two Amphicars.
A friend made the shim on the lathe, so i have no parts number.

Hey Peter, can you tell me what the thickness was of the shim ,,, Alan Majerus

Aha - Mark - Here is the thread. Can we revive this effort and see if the original bearing might be findable/replicable?

This was my best guess for the "305" bearing. Would need samples and validation to be sure it is the same, then target price of buyers.



The issue with sourcing parts like these is competition from low cost country suppliers. Is the market willing to pay a little more for a quality part?
Determining if a part is high quality or not is a subjective thing. The installer (rebuilder) of the transmission in this case must feel the part, check tolerances, check for excessive noise or resistance. Does it look right, feel right, can I install this and not have an issue where I have to tear the whole car apart to replace a low quality bearing because I wanted to save $10?

There also seems to be a shim issue. Can this or other bearings be used without a shim? How thick does the shim need to be for each bearing? I have no idea on this question.
