1969 911T Intermediate Shaft Bearing

[kav]

I'm installing the intermediate shaft bearings and I read in Waynes book that if you have a stock case 1965 - 1969 then the intermediate shaft rides directly on the surface on the case.

When I reference pictures from my teardown I see there is no intermediate shaft bearing visible as described in the book. If I look at the case halves now after the machine work by Ollies I see there is a notch in the case to receive a bearing, did the machine shop bore the journal out and machine the notch to accept a bearing?? (996-101-435-70). They never mentioned this when I received the case back?

Cheers.

Before the machine work. No Bearing, No Notch.





After Machine work, Notch. Intermediate bearing that does fit.





Why does the front bearing NOT have a small hole in it like the original?

It does appear that they did the upgrade for the bearing in your case. If your shaft fits, I think you are good to go with the new bearing.

The bearing less intermediate shaft was in the aluminum early engines.
The layshaft bearing surfaces are much larger on the early aluminum and there is no thrust bearing but a stacked cover allowing some measured movement.

Also, no bearing in the '68 and '69 mag cases according to Bruce Anderson.

Yes mine is a '69 Mag case with no bearing.

I will call Ollies in the morning and see what the final word is before I install the intermediate shaft etc.

Will report back.

So I called Ollie's this morning and they confirmed that when they bore an early case back to standard they bore and add the tang to use a standard set of intermediate shaft bearings.
