I have the crank out of my 98 SRX and noticed that on the first 4 bearings closest to the clutch there are 4 circlips. I assume these circlips keep the crank from moving within the cases. The clips only cover 180 deg. on the crank but are able to rotate around. Does it matter what position these are in? You would think there would be 2 at each section for a total of 8 to cover 360 deg.
