Has anybody got a list of bearings needed for a 2CV6 gearbox? I'm planning to rebuild mine as is is whiny as fuck, and somewhere around september I'll be going on a 3000+ km vacation in the 2CV.
I've got the parts list, but from that I can't make out anything other than sizes, and that's not enough. Diff and output hubs are easy enough, no problem there, but I need to know the bearings for the main and output shafts. Which are ball or roller bearings and what about all the needle bearings, are they a regular product that I can order from my supplier or do I have to order them somewhere 2CV-specific and pay double for that?
Of course I also plan to adjust all kinds of play and backlash and whatnot, but I have to know the bearings first, get a quote, sum all the parts up and see when I can make that kind of expense.

the double row flanged bottom rear bearing is difficult to source outwith 2cv gearbox specialists, everything else is off the shelf common and can be had at very reasonable prices.

OK, I have all the sizes except for the output shaft front bearing - is that one standard?

Output shaft? There are 2 of those.

Front bearing on the input shaft is a 6205NR.
Front bearing on the pinion shaft is a 'Citroen special', with rollers working directly on the shaft.

So, not including needle bearings (of which only 1 for sure is standard), 2 on the lower shaft are non-standard and quite expensive?
