Topic: Transmission experts I need some help.

First of all were looking at the transfer housing of a W56 tranny. I rebuilt this tranny about 2 years ago. Well I heard some rough bearing noise coming from the input shaft. So I decided to take it back apart and rebuild again. The question is, is the bearing race circled supposed to spin in the housing? I believe the last one would spin as well, I just going through the thing checking things that might need some looking into.
Thanks

no the race IS NOT supposed to spin

Glen is right the race should not spin against the aluminum housing it is usually a press fit, can you pull the race out?

Sorry guys, all mainshaft rear output cage bearing outer races will always spin in the rear housing .

It is not a press fit.

Since this "helper" bearing only works in 5th gear, it was designed with a loose fit when cold.
Being of a thin design, as the aluminum housing heats up, in gets much tighter and I have never seen the race spin out in the housing.

Just a quick assembly tip---we always put the gap of the retainer ring at 12 o'clock. This will eliminate another place for debris to collect.
