B-series transmission question

Replacing the bearings in my B16A/S4C transmission and the OEM replacement countershaft bearing on the transmission case is missing an oil hole. This is the needle-type bearing.

The original bearing has an oil hole and the factory manual says to install the bearing with the oil hole facing up. This is the correct bearing since it fits into the housing and onto the countershaft, but it's just missing the oil hole. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

How does this apply to ITRs?

Well, b16 trans = itr trans basically.

I wish I could answer the question, but I can't.

OK then... I was asked to step in on this... seemed like a hybrid thing.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend anybody. I just figured the transmissions were similar enough to find an answer here. And the bearing is the same part number in an ITR transmission.

And that is why this thread is still open for discussion
