Looking for these needle bearings?

Post by Greaser2 »

I have a 67 411 SSS manual. The trans is basically the roadster 4 speed shorted 4 inches mostly in the tail. I’ve disassembled the trans and have found all the ball and needle bearings I need accept these. There looks to be 3 sets under the 1-3 gears, two rows of about 54 needles per. Any ideas where I can find these?

If Don’s lead above doesn't pan out, you might want to try giving these guys a call (I believe yours is the F4W63 transmission):

Shaft looks fine, the trans was making plenty of groans so just replacing all bearings. Pic of trans, not exactly like a F4W63

Been a long time since I worked on one of those, but it sure looks like a F4W63 (maybe for a J16 engine) :?: What do you have under the hood?

Is the counter gear shaft supposed to have this groove. Not sure how it would have worn away if not designed this way.

Wow. That’s the worst scoring I’ve seen. Probably from a seized (or wrong sized) needle bearing somewhere in it’s 50+ year history.
