Dennis.

You prompted me to find and post pics I took of a WBX and longer PB (for Fox?) before installing longer one for my engine conversion. Ignorantly, didn't check at time of install if longer bearing was sealed type. I think I see a hint of seal in pic. Still, the longer one in my KEP "Vanagon" (VW I4 bolt pattern) flywheel still looks fine.

Checked receipts. Longer PB PN is 111 105 313 A or 056 105 313 C. The second one is a higher price. Likely it's the longer one.

I'm glad I actually took time to read up on the input shaft swap. I wrote up what I did and posted. It was a little tricky to set the input shaft back by one spline, but I triple checked that to make sure. The mechanics mirror was handy for that.

PB's compared:
