Asked my indi who wants to charge $2K to remove the trans and flywheel which of course is out of the question unless it is time to replace the clutch.

Suggestion · Original poster

Was watching the PCA video on the IMSB by Jake Raby and he referred to using a boroscope to determine which bearing is installed.

OK I did and if you look at the first video in the series, not the one just posted, at 10:50 min mark this is where he referred to using a boroscope.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 4Original post

Sorry I totally misread your question, thinking you wanted to know the condition of your bearing vs the type of bearing...I shouldn't come on this site while at work! I don't think you can see it unless you separate the tranny and move it enough to get a scope in there.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

it is a 2004 base coupe MT with a reman engine from Porsche at 12K miles (2007). The engine has 55K over the past 7 years. I suspect it has the larger single row bearing but have put up forsale and knowing the bearing type would be helpful.

POST 7Original post

You're probably right, no sense spending money just so you know. Share what you've learned with the buyer (offer no guarantee on bearing type) and good luck with the sale.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
