Which of the bearings in the 5 speed box are viable for replacement with ceramic ones?
Can someone list the bearing code numbers?

Any downsides to this conversion?



Thanks

The big output shaft ball bearing. I think it's like a 6203 or something like that. Check the parts book.
They have worked out fine for years in our applications.
Don't use a cheap Chinese one.

Does this look good?

They don't mention the manufacturer and the product copy reads suspiciously like Chinese English

 that product description definitely reads like Chinglish.

VXB are Chinese bearings. They might be okay for wheel bearings,  but I would not put them in the engine or gearbox.
Expect that bearing to cost about  $100 US for a good one. Chumma can get you one. He has put several in 5 speeds.

Try putting the bearing number in the search on this site.  This is what a real bearing should cost.  I have used Boca for years from everything from fishing reels to heavy equipment great service and super high quality bearings.
