Looking for equivalents of these bearings
My gearbox is in parts right now. I need these parts for it. These bearings are very expensive.
Bearings:
016 311 220E
016 311 375B
016 311 445
all can be found on page 122 here: https://www.porsche.com/all/media/pd...88_KATALOG.pdf
I know that this gearbox is similar to Audi 100 gearbox, maybe some of them are available from different manufacturers? I really need help with this one.

Post the prices you found them for, I know of a couple of sources.
Don't expect to find the pinion bearing for cheap though, it really is a special bearing because the race is stepped as a bottoming rest.
Where are you located geographically...?
I have a local supplier, Motion Industries that can either supply the exact bearing with race or a quality replacement, ***, SKF, etc., because to them, it's just another bearing, not "Porsche 944 main shaft rear.
The pinion front....forget about it.

Thank you for your input. I am in Poland.
Which one is the pinion front? I hope this is the 016 311 445, because this is the only one out of these 3 bearings that I can get it from Porsche directly for 244$ with no shipping fee as 016 311 44F part, it's the successor to the 016 311 445.
These are hard to find :
016311375B can't find it.
and the last one is a bummer: 295$ 016 311 220 E this is 295$

If your supplier could provide those 2 or 3 bearings that would be great, I would like to buy these parts one source, one shipping package.

They are not generic bearings and are available only from Porsche or VW/Audi. They have been made for them, historically, by different manufacturers such as SKF, ***/INA, and Timken, and these manufacturers have given them IDs unique to themselves that you can usually see on the races. But they won't help you find a cheaper source, as a rule.

LOL, do you guys know how many bearing manufacturers there are in the world...?
I have a replacement for the 375b that meets every criteria of the factory bearing, except it has 1 less roller.
Some of the bearings can't be crossed.
I said that in my post above.
So there's nothing to disagree with.
Some of them have bore IDs that are in tenths of a mm (32.2, etc.). Some of those you can cross into SAE and be within .00X", within the tolerance from bearing to bearing in metric. Some will have no acceptable SAE conversion.
With a bearing race outer diameter correct and the closest cross having an ID a few thousandths too small, you can turn the shaft to match the bearing.
The IDs assigned on the race are put there so you will give up and just buy the original because it makes no sense to a catalog cross reference.
So, again, are some of the bearing unobtainable f4om an outside source, yes.
Are all of them....absolutely not.
