i came across the 3203 and the 204 series. Did not match the id. Poss wrong info posted on the web. I ask about the seal because the pics of the NOS bearings I found were un sealed. It would seem to me a new prelubed dbl sealed is best but once pressed into the crank-the back side would not require it if the crank was clean. I assume heat is not an issue here modern neoprene has no issues in newer applications but not sure how much friction(heat) a new un broken in rope seal rear main imparts to this area of the crank and this bearing is spinning only with the clutch depressed. As far as adding to the prt x ref I would not do it unless I had a part in my hand with #s stamped and was sure it fit. Those who have the trans on the bench I would hope would share their experiences.
