What bearing would that be. We had to take apart our transmissions at the compition and, due to time, had to run on 1 motor each for a match. There is a bearing for each CIM. Then there is one for each side of the first driven gear shaft and then one for each side of the second driven gear shaft. If you remove a CIM, it can keep it's bearing, becuase it isn't needed (nothing moving there). Am I missing somthing?

If they want us to think outside of the box, why do they make us fit in a 38x28x60 inch box?
