# 423 pinion angular contact bearing

Is this for an internal hydraulic throwout bearing system?

Larry

Is this a U-joint bearing?

I am so sorry guys.....

It is a ZF part. I do not have the actual ZF part #, but this # is in all the reference books that people use.

Adam,

This is not something that us owners are just going to stash away in the garage. As I understand, all the ZF bearings are proprietary to ZF and are not sourced from your local bearing supply house. I imagine that Les has searched with the other vendors that do ZF work to see if they have one. You might ask to make sure, but you may just be at the mercy of time.

There was a poster on this list a while back over in the UK I believe that did ZF work. Perhaps if you can search out those posts you could give him a try.

Good Luck,

Larry

It looks like the rear main support bearing on the main shaft.
RBT doesn't have this bearing?
The two most common bearings needed for this transmission and any transmission are going to be the input shaft front and rear bearings.
If they are no longer being made or there are no substitutes that is another major blow to this car.
The only way to get one will be to take one from another transmission. Wait, let me call the juke yard...yeh right!

Call this company .... Rockland Standard Gear Hillburn NY is a ZF dealer and they may have it sitting on a shelf... dont have the number. Also dont let them tell you the story that you cannot get the bearing ... only one thing be prepared to have the dimensions of the bearing in Millimeters. GENERAL BEARING CO is another source they have the bearings for the steering rack in stock. Also they had the rear wheel bearings for my Cobra in stock.

PD...they are making these bearings, they just didn't make enough and ran out. they had to start production back up and there is no eta on when they will be distributed to RBT.

accobra, I will try that co. Thanks.

Adam

Hey accobra, I called Rockland Standard Gear, but they told me that they only sell their bearing sets for the ZF in a "complete" package. I told them it was for a 5DS-25-2 transaxle, they had no idea what it was "is that from a Corvette?", they asked me. When I stated it was for a Detomaso Pantera they had no idea what i was talking about

Also called General bearing co, just to see. They didn't know what a ZF was and said they could not help me.

Oh well, looks like I will have to be patient and see when Lloyd gets them.

Thanks for the help, though.

All bearings have an ID # on them somewhere. It is usually on the side.
That number can be cross referenced by anyone who sells bearings.
I got the same, what is that reaction from Rockland as well.
Ron, did you get the trannie back from them yet?

The bearings all have numbers on the side and can be cross referenced or comapred to an equal as I said most are cross referenced in MM's ... Rockland standard gear is an authorized ZF dealer ..... but they are mass producing rebuilt ZF transmissions and had no time for my ZF. It sat in there shop for a month and I picked it up. I have rebuilt many transmittions including 12 & 18 speed Roadrangers for Big Rigs ... I just dont have the time ... but I guess in this case I will find the time. I cleaned a spot in my garage for a table and I'm going to do it myself.

Both General Bearing is a bearing manufacturer ... they dont know where their bearings go ??? they could care less ... call them or call any bearing place enar your house with the little number on the side of the bearing and it can be cross ref.

The trick is dont tell them its for a special trans and you cant find it anywhere.

There is another little bearing supplier near my house that sold me General bearings for many other applications over the years. He is a very patient old man ... who loves the challenge.

Ron

You should do 2 at a time....or talk to Coz.
