on my A's front trans case, the hold bearing could spin in the hole. can any thing be done if the new one dose? thanks...
 
There are trick to stop that if it does happen but it is best to check first then worry later. LOL. Shims will work or a dab of gasket maker like silicone will do it or JB weld any and or all will do the trick
 
Sounds like a transmission ran low on oil and that in turn caused the bearing to lock up and that in turn caused the bearing race to spin and that is not a good thing.
 
Depending on how loose, loctite makes a procuct called stud and bearing mount. If a little thicker "glue" is what you need caterpillar sells a high strenghth retaining compound that also works awesome. I use both sepending on circumstances at work.
 
Another trick that I have used is to take a center punch and make divots where the bearing presses in. The divots will tightened up the tolerances some - try to make several divots and keep them somewhat evenly spaced. I would also use some of that bearing locktite liquid product mentioned in other posts as well since its inside a transmission and probably not real easy to get to again so any insurance that you can add is beneficial in the long run.
 
Devcon makes a liquid metal repair that would work. It comes in a tube and will withstand up to 400deg. The problam is to get the new bearing centered to stop the noise in the tranny.
