It's probably the same bearing that Brewers or Mancini sells. what do they charge for it?

The bearing I posted a picture of above, is about $8 on Rock auto, but after shipping would probably be $10-12 to your door.

I think I actually picked mine up at the local advance auto for $12-15...I don't remember exactly how much now (they had to order it in from the Hub, I picked it up the next day)

I have used the Dak bearing and cut only 1/8 or 1/4" off the shaft. Be a good idea to measure and not take off moe than you need to. I also chamfered the tip and that might have made mine work.


I want my fair share

I would assume that roller bearing you guys are showing is a cheap alternative to the roller bearing that Brewers/Passion Mancini would sell???

So Chris you going to swap in a Dana too??




Easy there big fella...this is a dream remember....it might be in the works though. You'll be the third to know.

Please, don't cut off the end of the input shaft of an 18 spline hemi transmission. Have the crankshaft properly prepared. In the end, it is however YOUR transmission, do as you will.




Why ? It's not like he is cutting a ton off ,it would still work in another crank and It's not that expensive to have the end retipped should someone decide they don't want to use the dakota part for some silly reason. The eagle crank in my stroker is not sized properly for the stock Pilot bushing , I'm going to trim my trans , 18 spline A body unit I made and use the dak part ...




Why? Personal frustration with the practice! Of the hemi 4-spd transmissions I own, two have the input shaft cut short and one is cut down to Chevy diameter. Then there are the two 23 spline input shafts cut short. I didn't cut any of them.

Its kinda like the crate motors sent to us to rebuild 'cause the original builders don't know what they are doing or won't take the time or expense to do it right.

Its okay to cut them off your transmission if you want. I'm just pleading that you may reconsider and finish the installation another way.



I had to cut 1/2" off my Richmond 5-speed because the Eagle crank in my engine was not drilled deep enough
I like it when some people whack the input shaft on an 833 That way I can buy it cheaper than one that is still whole
