Title: Gearbox bearing problems
Post by: bertvb on December 28, 2023, 11:49:10 AM
Hi all,

Can anyone help me with the following problem:
Earlier this year I mounted a 5-speed kit from fiat500sport.com. Everything seemed to work fine. Afther 400km, I wanted to change the oil. Then it quickly became clear that a bearing cage was broken. While driving I didn't notice anything.
I now have the whole gearbox apart again and fortunately there is no further damage.

Does anyone know micht be the cause of this problem?

It's the bearing at the top, furthest away from the differential that is broken (see photo).

Happy Holidays,
Bert
