What type of noise, is it a rattle, squeal, or something else. Everything should still be good at your mileage. Open the variator cover and check to see if the belt is still good, no pieces broken loose etc. Probably more likely the problem is in the variator slider/rollers housing.

All bearing have a universal size number on them. Just take the number to a local 'bearing shop' and buy a Timken, or SKF, NGK etc...

ok so the bearing was bad ,and the rattle was my muffler shield coming loos but.. it is still making the throtie sound at high thrittle and loosing power !could this be a sparkplug problem?, mabie a exost leak? i took off and inspected the vareatore ,and all is good there ,the plug looked good as well allthough the plug wire is not fitting real tight , but it has good power till i get to say 50mph or above, then it sounds loud and i have to let off gas till it kinda catches up with rpms . any idias would be much welcomed!
