Looks like you have eliminated the bearing we were talking about but just incase you do decide to change it - any bearing supplier will be familiar with the alpha numeric coding you mentioned and will be readily able to decode the specification. Just go through your local Yellow Pages etc.

The bearing that you now have decided upon as being faulty may well be specific only to Suzuki vehicles in which case it's back to the Dealer, but in general, bearings fitted to gearboxes etc are off the shelf parts and may well be used on for example a boat, cement mixer or tractor or whatever.

When a gearbox is designed, engineers will calculate and measure the loadings on the moving parts, having established these, if readily available parts will do the job rather than specifically unique parts, these will be used.

Yes,I measured them both and they were spot on,maybe a slight difference in appearance? Maybe the rollers were spaced differently or maybe one or two less but I threw the old one before thinking of checking that.heres the page I found it on http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/advanc ... 7&x=25&y=7
