Early 5 Speed Bearings
Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a quality bearing kit available for the 5 speed tranny in my '82 FLT? Seems like there's not much available for it with a quick search. My final drive bearing is toast and I'd like to do them all while I have it apart. Are there any must change items to replace while I'm in there?
Thanks

There is no "kit." You have to look up/order each bearing separately.
Johnjz is in New Jersey and possibly has all the bearings as most all the parts are n/a form HD. Or let him do it, very experienced with those.

Seems like Detroit bearing is out of business, but I do see some of their bearings on ebay. Does Johnjz have a website or contact or do I just send him a pm here on the forum? I just need the parts, I can handle the install. I was just hoping to get them all from one quality source if I can. I'm most concerned with not installing crap parts from the country south of Mongolia. I think I'd rather have my existing bearing ***** and races rechromed. Lol

I think that's exactly what I need. Thanks! Looks like Dennis Kirk has it available. They were one of the first places I checked and didn't come up with anything until I put that part # in. Thanks!

I was unaware of them. I don't think they had those when I was doing a few years ago.

That kit didn't come up when I searched and Jim's website is crap. It just has a pdf copy of their print catalog that makes it impossible to find anything.

That pic looks a little different than the one I saw. Is that the 1019 kit? Was that on Jim's site?
