Needle Cage, 2 Gear 4 Speed. Porsche 356 B / 356 C ❭ 74130228700
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
- Porsche 356C 1963-65
The OE Match Needle Cage, 2nd Gear 4-Speed is a premium-quality replacement gearbox bearing designed to support the rotating components of second gear within compatible Porsche 4-speed manual transmissions. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, precision and durability, this needle cage bearing ensures smooth gear rotation, minimises friction and maintains accurate gearbox operation under varying driving conditions.
Fits:
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
- Porsche 356C 1963-65
Diagram Ref No 38
Manufactured from high-strength, case-hardened bearing steel with precision-ground needle rollers, the bearing is engineered to withstand high rotational speeds, heavy gear loads and continuous lubrication within the transmission. Designed for direct OE-style installation, it restores smooth gear engagement and contributes to the long-term reliability and efficiency of the gearbox, making it ideal for transmission rebuilds and restoration projects.
What This Product Does:
- Supports the rotating components of second gear.
- Reduces friction between the gear and shaft.
- Ensures smooth gear rotation under load.
- Maintains correct gearbox tolerances and alignment.
- Distributes loads evenly across the bearing surface.
- Helps deliver smooth and precise gear changes.
- Reduces wear on transmission components.
- Forms an essential part of the 4-speed manual gearbox.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Whining or rumbling noises from the gearbox.
- Difficulty engaging second gear.
- Rough or notchy gear changes.
- Increased gearbox vibration.
- Excessive internal gearbox play.
- Metallic particles present in the gearbox oil.
- Premature wear of gears or shafts.
- Gearbox noise that changes with vehicle speed.
- Reduced transmission efficiency.
- Gearbox failure if bearing deterioration is left unchecked.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The needle cage bearing is subjected to constant rotational loads, high contact pressures and continuous lubrication while the vehicle is in operation. Over time, normal wear, contamination or insufficient lubrication can damage the needle rollers or bearing cage, reducing the bearing's ability to support the gear correctly.
- A worn needle cage can increase internal gearbox friction, accelerate wear of gears and shafts, and lead to noisy or difficult gear engagement. If left unrepaired, bearing failure can cause significant internal transmission damage, resulting in costly gearbox repairs or complete transmission overhaul.
- Replacing a worn needle cage bearing restores smooth gear rotation, reduces internal friction and helps preserve the accuracy and reliability of the gearbox. The OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, precision-manufactured hardened steel construction and long-lasting durability, ensuring dependable performance and extending the service life of your Porsche 4-speed manual transmission.
