I've read and read and read through this thread, and I think I've lost my way at this point.
Before I make the wrong choice....am I correct in understanding that the bearing number for both torque tubes AND torque converters is 6008? (This would be for Franken-Shark -- 85 Euro with 84 US TT and TC.) I guess what I'm asking is, are all the years the same?
Thanks for your help!

Can someone who's replaced their clutch release bearing please tell me the exact part number of the bearing they used?
I know it's a 6008 bearing but that just specifies the size. I need to know whether it's shielded/sealed/etc.
Thanks.

Shielding is not such a concern because it gets pressed into the bearing holder and is shielded that way.
I just ordered some that were 6000 RPM capable and they worked great. About $3.50 a bearing. There should be some other numbers or letters in the bearing you removed that defines specification.
Good luck

I had the pleasure of buying a new transmission input shaft bearing (999.052.138.00), It's a *** # 566796A, for '87-95 5 -speeds.

You don't "buy" those bearings, you invest in them.
Tried all sort of searches and found nothing related to 566796A, not even on the *** site. Can you take all those measurements bearings need measured and post that?

Mike-
I did the search too, couldn't find anything whatsoever. At the risk of outing myself as the retard that I am, what measurements? Just OD, ID, and thickness?

Yup, those are it and you need to know the type of bearing and it's operating environemt (highspeed, cold climate, high pressure, etc.). BUT the "A" or any other letter at the end usually indicates that the bearing is a unique part, specially made for the manufacturer.

Mkay, here goes:
There's a 5mm thick flange on the bearing that makes it 105mm OD in greatest dimension, and 100 mm OD over the remainder of the OD. Thickness is ~21.1 mm, and the ID is ~55mm:

Ahhh...you didn't show the lip in the first pic. This bearing is definetly a custom one. Standard sized bearings are ........... well, standard. No funky lip or extra machining. That's a ball bearing by the way.

Ken posted this in another thread, so I'm stealing it to add to this one:
Slow wiping and/or whirring/grinding noise is usually a sign of a greaseless, bad bearing in the wiper motor. It is replaceable, but it's not a quick job. (A new wiper motor is >$400, vs. <$10 for a bearing.)
The bearing is 26 x 10 x 8 (often used on bicycles). I used '6000 2RS C3' to rebuild mine.
