What This Product Does

This bearing supports rotating gearbox components and helps maintain their alignment. It is an internal transmission component for repair or overhaul work, rather than a clutch release bearing or an external gear-selection bush.

Functions

• Supports rotation within the gearbox assembly.
• Helps locate moving transmission components.
• Reduces friction at the bearing interface.
  
  

Technical Details

• Brand: OE Match.
• Component type: four-point contact bearing.
• Part reference: PCG05208800.
• Additional supplied reference: 99905208800.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

• Whining or rumbling from the transmission.
• Unwanted movement in a gearbox shaft.
• Metallic debris found during an oil inspection.
• Roughness or visible damage discovered when the gearbox is dismantled.
  
  

These findings can have several causes and do not identify this bearing alone. Clutch operation, linkage condition, mounts and lubrication should also be assessed before selecting replacement components.

Why Replacement Matters

A worn bearing can allow unwanted movement and contribute to wear elsewhere in the gearbox. Renewal is appropriate when inspection confirms damage, rough rotation or excessive play. During an overhaul, inspect the other bearings, retaining components, shafts and seals rather than assuming that replacing one item will resolve every symptom.

FAQs

Will this fit every G50 transmission?
The supplied fitment covers the 1987–1989 Carrera with G50.00, G50.01 or G50.02 transmission codes. Do not assume compatibility with other G50 versions.

Does gearbox noise confirm a failed bearing?
No. Several internal components and external drivetrain parts can produce similar noises. Diagnosis should establish the source before dismantling or replacement.

Should other components be inspected during fitting?
Yes. Check adjoining bearings, shaft surfaces, retaining hardware and seals for related wear, and confirm the correct gearbox oil specification.
