Bearing Intermediate Main & Rear Shaft

The WINTERS Bearing Intermediate Main & Rear Shaft (Part Number 67568) is a precision needle bearing assembly engineered for transmission applications requiring reliable shaft support under high rotational loads. This steel bearing features a 1.514-inch inner diameter and 1.685-inch outer diameter, delivering the compact geometry necessary for intermediate and rear shaft positioning in modern and classic transmission designs. Designed for durability and consistent performance, this bearing is essential for transmission rebuilds and performance upgrades where shaft alignment and load distribution directly impact drivetrain longevity.

Needle bearings like this are optimized for radial load capacity in confined spaces, making them ideal for transmission housings where conventional ball or roller bearings won't fit. The 1.514-inch ID accepts standard transmission shafts, while the 1.685-inch OD integrates into factory or performance transmission cases. Steel construction ensures the bearing withstands the repetitive shock loads and sustained pressure generated during acceleration, shifting, and highway cruising. At just 0.08 lbs, this bearing adds minimal weight while providing the structural support necessary to prevent shaft deflection and gear misalignment that can cause premature wear.

This bearing serves mechanics and enthusiasts rebuilding manual or automatic transmissions, whether for classic restoration, performance enhancement, or standard maintenance. Proper bearing selection is critical—using the correct ID/OD dimensions prevents shaft runout and maintains gear concentricity. The WINTERS 67568 is a direct-fit replacement for OEM applications and high-performance rebuilds where transmission reliability cannot be compromised. Whether installing in a race transmission, vintage restoration, or heavy-duty application, this needle bearing provides the precision fit and load-carrying capacity that serious transmission work demands.
