Hello, I'm new to the forum, so please let me know if there's anything I could do better in future posts.

I recently bought a 1981 pickup, that came stock with an L52 transmission. I knew it had a bad bearing somewhere and decided to rebuild the transmission, which has been going alright. There's just one bearing now that has exploded in the transfer adapter directly behind the transmission itself, and I can't seem to find one anywhere. What would you call this bearing and is it still available? It looks like the end of the countershaft goes into this bearing like a pilot bearing.

If I need to, I figure I could probably measure it out and find any pilot bearing with the right dimensions, but I'd rather get the correct part if it is out there.


The bearing I am asking about is under the seal in this transfer adapter casing.


This is the needle bearing that was in that spot, it has exploded, and I think some of the needles are no longer intact.

 

Okay I found the part number, I still don't know what I would call this bearing, but the bearing number was legible after pulling it. For anyone that needs this needle bearing in the future the part number is 18NQ3420AD.
