benefit of 3 window stationary gear bearings
As I was going through the plethora of parts I picked up yesterday for my S4, I started inspecting the engine internals. I have 2 sets of Stat gears and noticed that on both that the bearings are scored and discolored.
Seeing this, I started to look for replacements and found the 3 window stat gear bearings on the Atkins site at a substansially higher price then the Mazda OE bearings.
What are the benefits of these over the OE bearings ? I did a search and read a bit of doing a window mod, but nothing on the actual bearins available on the Atkins site, so please dont tell me to search, I did that.
Thanks,
Craig

I believe they are of no merit without the modified stat gear. You need to have a groove that runs around the bearing bore to feed all three windows. I think the FD stat gears come this way. It's a good oiling upgrade mod.
