I just was given a transmission & bellhousing from a family that has passed away.

Now I can dissemble the unit and try to engineer something. I'm still favoring the bronze bushing idea. Why? because I know it's a stable way to go.

Joe K- THe needle bearings I was referring to are not like your photos. The needle bearings that were used in the T-90 transmissions were just needles. You inserted them in, one by one. Watched my brother do this a few times. There probably was a spacer
in between the loose needles. The T-90 was used in every post war jeep for years. Many of us even bolted them up to Chevy V8's.

I can use some help here folks....If the right quality ones are being made now, there is no use to carry on any further. Can anyone share info on that?
Thanks,
