...uhhh; there are no bearing options. They're all the same, except for the number of holes in the stationary gear bearings (1 vs 3-window) and FD rotor bearings have a but more clearance from what I understand...



...Maybe you're confusing that for the endplay spacer?

you are incorrect with the bearing sizes,,,,,,, there is about 10 plus sizes all within like .001 " or so or something liek that , anyways just id mic your bearings and od mic your e-shaft and choose the correct bearings you need,,,,,,,,,, the fd bearings a multy hole unlike the fc bearings also,,,,, the 3 window is aftermarket.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,







ps i think the proper clearance for the bearings are like .003 to .005,,,,,,,, but dont trust that i have had a long *** day and it may be like .007 butmaybe someone with a clear head can be more precice
