Which trans do you have, NV3500 or NV4500?
Do some research online, I'd bet someplace has just the bearing. BUt I'd
also take a look and see what all you need, since a bad bearing means metal
through the trans.

It has the NV2500 tranny, There were some fine shavings in the tranny oil
after I drained it, I also flushed it out and it seems as if everything else
is in good shape.

Are you sure about the trans ID?

No such beast. You may have a Ram 2500, in which case you have an NV4500
transmission. If you have a Ram 1500 (1/2 ton), then you have an NV3500.
These were the only two manual transmissions used in '98, regardless of
truck configuration.
