Yeah, they’re attached to the stator and the turbine, below the seat buckle and in front of the whisk.

Of course. Right next to the universal joint.

Yes. And it takes a left handed monkey wrench to change it out.

You bet they do, and they should be frequently lubed with elbow grease.

Most do not, but it is a very popular add-on/aftermarket upgrade. Just ask the guys who rebuilt your transmission for the third time.

I’d like to know if these bearings had California-approved spark arrestors or other proper suppression devices.
