WHAT CA95 transmission bearings??

Dr. Frankenstein · Post by **Dr. Frankenstein** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:18 am

I see all the time where people say 'I rebuilt my CA95 from the ground up and installed new bearings' - can someone please tell me WHAT bearings they are using??

The original part number bearing (#91002200008) is unobtainable; a cross-reference does not exist.

The bearings I *did buy (Nachi 6204 NR) have a groove that is 1/2 mm too small for the two bearing anchors that are located in the crankcase, and every other bearing I have researched is not the right one...so who is using what, where are you getting them, and how much are they?

I have my 1964 CA95 completely torn down, and pretty much all I need is the correct transmission bearings to reassemble it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think that you have two courses of action. Either:

a) get the bearings you have modified by a knowledgeable machine shop that knows how to grind the races without overheating them

OR

b) use whatever bearings you can get and loctite them in to just one of the case halves (not both). That way you will still be able to separate the cases but you should get good location.

I wonder if that's durable enough, do you have any experience with this method in this type of application ?

I've heard of people using loctite to retain Honda crank bearings and I have use 648 and activator on the sensors I install in railway lines which are very high vibration. Helical primary drive gears would be a problem as they provide a side load. I would try it as a last resort and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised........ :-)

Yes, I currently have them in to a professional machine shop and am awaiting their return...I just was wondering if there were any 'drop-in' bearings out there...
