Message: [QUOTE="Bud-Man, post: 113263, member: 20830"] Hey guys I've got a question about the bearings in my '01 125sx. I'm replacing the transmission bearings and have replacements that appear to be equivalent except the oem bearings have plastic cages ( for the ball bearings). I've looked into the classifications, tolerances, etc. and the only thing different is the lettering designating a polimer cage. Why did the oem spec these type of cages and will it be a problem to substitute an equivalent bearing with a metal cage? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
