    Hi I've been looking for a front bearing retainer for a T98 for over 2 yrs with no luck. So i have decided to make one . Does anyone have pictures & dimensions for a T98 front bearing retainer to fit a f134? Thanks

    Just curious - I presume that this retainer, the plate adapter and the input shaft are all the parts you need to make a T-98 fit up to a 134?

    I was talking to my local parts source and he said he might be able to locate the part. I'll pm his contact info

    I think the last batch of them were made from unobtainium, and are getting mighty scarce.

    fortunately the rear adapter is nothing more than a t98/t18 adapter you can get those from novak. The front adapter is not thathard to make, but the input shaft and bearing retainer is the hard ones to locate. I know I gave Nicmil my t98 input shaft so his buddys could try and maybe make em, if so that would be awesome :)

    The 15/16 should be the right one ,total length should be 10.375 " , shaft lentgh of 7.25 not inclueding the pilot bering pin, PN 912361

    Sorry about not getting those measurements I had several projects come up and with work I just havnt felt like going down stairs and taking the bearing retainer off of the tranny and measuring it yet.Hopfully I can get it done over the week end.
