I own a 2000, with a build date of 08/99. So my car is almost a 99 with the last 4 VIN numbers being: ... 0220; hence, I'm 99% sure I have a dual-row as I was very early in the assy line of the 2000 model year.

So could we assume your car was built in the last assembly-month of the 2000 model year: ie, July?

As such, you might be pushing it for you to sport a dual-row ... but, eh!, who knows?

At any rate, your case would be interesting. Make sure you tell us what you have once you probe down there ...

I'm hoping for a dual row, but can't be 100% sure until the trans is dropped.  I just drive it like I stole it and try not to think too much about it.

And the bearing that came out of it was a dual row

Thanks!  I appreciate the info.

Okee. HELLGA'S back with a new ceramic dual bearing..whoot! Clutch was good... $1700 was the best I could do around here. Most wanted 3000 ish. What a load off :)

Do you what your build date is?  There's a sticker on the drivers door that specifies the date. I believe it's right upper corner if the door was turned 90 degrees.  I knew someone with 3/00 with dual row bearing and mine is a 7/00 but not sure which one I have, will wait until I need to replace the clutch. 

Just curious, thanks!

I also have 285/30/18 on the rear (Pirelli Rosso), no rubbing.

Try Michelin Super Sports. Far nicer tire and cheaper too, I believe. Here is a discussion for you:

Super Sports are 300 treadwear and don't come in 285/30/18, so not a viable replacement for the Rosso.  You'd have to go to PS2 for a similar tire, but they cost about $100 more per tire than the Rosso.

I just put 4 new Rosso's on my car a month ago. There are limited tires in a 285/30/18 with 200 - 220 treadwear.  Since the rears go out twice as fast as the fronts, I may have a dilemma when I need to replace them if Pirelli Rosso discontinues that size. 

I'd take a 996 Turbo, I already owned a S/C'd E46 M3 (440 whp), nice car but moved on; style is very dated now...

Great mod, did this while I was removing the A pillar to hardwire my radar detector.  The range is very much improved.  Thanks!
