All of those numbers posted are to be taken with a grain of salt. We find discrepancies with them routinely here in the real world. In 2000 and 2001 the engine can be a single or dual row. In 2005 the engine can be an M96 single row or an M97 single row. Those years require a visual inspection to verify which bearing the engine is fired with.

The info for other, non change- over years is more accurate.

Not even the data from the class action suit is 100% correct.

I understand that the visual inspection you mention will require pulling the clutch assembly amongst other things, right? Is there any alternate way to make this determination in the least intrusive way? Thanks.
