V70 needle roller bearing in crankshaft to box mainshaft ?

[sv70]

On a 55 plate V70 D5 [manual box]-does anyone know the part number for the needle roller bearing that fits in the crankshaft,to take the gearbox mainshaft,only as i will be replacing the clutch in the new year and didn't want to leave the original bearing in place while at that stage,i have had a look on vida and can't find it,also rang FRF and they couldn't find it either,so am hoping someone on the forum has done this job and knows the part number,cheers.

There isn't one . the mainshaft is on substantial bearings so is solid and doesn't wobble around .

Thanks clan,i knew a master of the forum would know such a thing as this,i honestly thought that there would be a bearing and not metal to metal,shows how much i know,at least that's 1 less part i need to buy,cheers pal.

that's ok . for many years the mainshaft in front wheel drive units in most makes is short and ends just after it goes into the clutch plate .🎅

Thanks clan,it's just the last one i did was on an early seventies audi 100 coupe-s,so i wrongly presumed that there would be a needle roller bearing in place,cheers.
