Overdrive Transmission Front Bearing Retainer

Thanks to the Hemi drive pinion's added thickness, a new front bearing retainer is required. If you don't have an original Chrysler part kicking around, Passon offers the billet-steel replacement on the left for $99.00. There were three different bearing-retainer flange diameters used in production, so Passon tells customers to call with their measurements to ensure the new retainers will suit their bellhousing/blow-shield configurations. Naturally, you'll also need to change the throwout bearing to match the new, large bearing retainer.
