I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE BEARING THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT GOES INTO IN THE LOWER UNIT. MY UNIT IS MESSED UP. I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT AND THE NUMBERS ON TOP MATCH, BUT WHEN I LOOKED INSIDE, IT DOESNT HAVE THE BEARING STYLE IT JUST HAS A BRASS SLEEVE. MY SHAFT WILL NOT GO INTO THE SLEEVE.IF THE NUMBERS ON THE LOWER UNIT ARE THE SAME THEN WHY ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

It sounds like the new hsg you purchased is a design I with a sraight driveshaft and you needed a design II for the stepped shaft. Some product casting had the same number because the casting was the same just machined differantly, later castings had a differant number, I belive
