Reported cause
I needed the same 2 bearings and ordered them from Porsche where it was the cheapest.
Leading evidence: 'cheapest' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'cheapest' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check with mercedes' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Part number 996-302-807-00 is the bearing of the main shaft that has to be replaced cause we must cut it to separate the shafts.

I have run across this many times and a best case is that it is an extremely uncommon bearing and will be difficult to find and expensive.

Suggestion
I took the same parts numbers given here (mistake) I did''nt check with the guy from the dealer to be sure they were the right ones I needed before ordering.
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.

I desperately need these two bearings and will be happy to pay for information to find them.

They are the main shaft support bearings on the 6 speed trany of the 2000 C2. Please feel free to let your bearing bros know there is a reward out for these two. Without them my Porsche is out for the count. Any help appreciated and paid for.

Do you have any dimensions on those bearings? If you do you can look them up on this site <a href="http://www.ahrinternational.com/bearing_lookup.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ahrinternational.com/bearing_lookup.htm</a> it has a very extensive inventory of bearings. You could also try contacting these people <a href="http://www.motormeister.com/suz/trans/clutch_trans.htm#Transmission%20Parts" target="_blank">http://www.motormeister.com/suz/trans/clutch_trans.htm#Transmission%20Parts</a> they seem to have a nice selection. If those don't work you can try contacting *** bearings directly at:

Some time ago someone else was looking for transmission bearings, which Porsche does not sell. He tracked down the company that made them but the company would not slle them to him as they were all presold to Porsche.
There are European companies that rebuild the transmission. In the US I would first try PowerHaus.
I would call Jeff at Auto Strasse in Newport, Costa Mesa, CA. He buys lots of blown engines and trannies and strips them for parts to rebuild others. I bet he has them. [phone removed] Good luck
Get the dimensions and try Timken if all else fails. We use them along with *** bearings on the F-15 engines so they must be good enough for a Porsche. Our engines make about 17000 hp so you should be good to go.
Thank you all for the info,
I think it is going to be hectic to find those, but I will not stop to finding them
I just learnt today that Porsche AG in Germany requires the tranny serial number to ship those to the dealers. (irony of the sort, there is Mercedes-Benz plate on the tranny)
I called *** in Switzerland, and they are forebidden to sell those to anybody.
I am confident I will find them.
One more detail, there is Brazil engraved on the bearing
It's possible that these are proprietary bearings. That means they were manufactured exclusively for Porsche or the manufacturer of the transmission and are not a stocking part or available for sale to anyone other than the original customer. Usually a bearing like this has no cross reference to other brands and is dimentionally non standard or unique in design. I have run across this many times and a best case is that it is an extremely uncommon bearing and will be difficult to find and expensive.
The worst case may be that the bearing is not available for sale separately from any source. I have been in this situation where I have had to modify a part by altering it dimensionally to fit a common bearing. Hope it doesn't come to this for you and you are able to locate it.
If you are in Europe.

I am a Boxstir guy. Thought the 996 manual transmission was Getrag. Thought the turbo tip used Mercedes. But if it says Mercedes then maybe you can check with Mercedes.
A mechanic I know was working on a Cayenne automatic transmission, which is made by the Japanese company Aisin. He needed a part that Porsche did not have. Porsche said to buy the part from a Lexus dealer. Guess Aisin also makes a Lexus transmission.
I am writting this message from the dealer here,
they do not have the tranny parts.
If the one next to you has them, I would humbly offer $100 for the effort, + cost + shipping
regards and thanks
The two bearings you need are available now at any Porsche dealer. The part numbers you need are 996-302-807-00 and 996-301-806-00. If you want, pm me and I can fax you an exploded diagram to to make sure we are talking about the same ones. I could have a set for you on Monday if your dealer is unable to help.
I don't have access to a scanner here. I'll try to scan it this weekend, I think my neighbor may have one. If anyone on the board could scan it I could fax the pics to them.
I needed the same 2 bearings and ordered them from Porsche where it was the cheapest. I took the same parts numbers given here (mistake) I did''nt check with the guy from the dealer to be sure they were the right ones I needed before ordering. I will call Porsche tomorrow beeing very polite and ask if they can take it back cause it's my mistake?
Part number 996-302-807-00 is the bearing of the main shaft that has to be replaced cause we must cut it to separate the shafts.
Part# 996-302-808-00 is the pinion bearing, the one filled with Porsche magic grease (THE BEARING).
Part number 996-301-806-00 is one of the main shaft bearing bearing or the secondary shaft but at the opposite end. The one we don't need to change
So wrong number...
These numbers are the right ones. Fortunately for me Porsche agreed to take it back without restocking fees
I understand. My main goal was to give the right part numbers to order the right bearings for the next people who will read this to avoid them the possibility of an expensive mistake.
I made a correction though cause there was another mistake. Now it's ok
Thank you for the good work you are doing and posting. The techniques you have shown and the correction to misinformation will be much appreciated by those who follow. As these gearboxes accumulate more miles & age ,your thread will become ever more valuable.
Please ignore those whose only contribution to your pioneering and very helpful technical is sarcasm.Now back to bearings, presses,jigs.correct part numbers (for $400 parts !) and avoiding pullers.
Thank you for spending time you probably do not have to post the photos and the
correct part numbers
to change for the majority of us who are grateful.
Note this part number (996-301-806-00) may not need to be replaced !
This guy on eBay has at least one bearing (
996 302 807 00)
. He has a store, so maybe he could source more? Check it out...
