Re: Transmission Bearings?
Got everything cleaned up today. Both ball bearings were shot. Would like some input on the condition of the gears. To my eye the cluster gear needs to be replaced but does anything else? The pictures show the worst wear/pitting on each respective gear and the circled area on the cluster is a chipped tooth. The roller bearing surface on the main shaft is smooth but not shiny, not sure how big of a deal that is.
Again, this transmission never popped out of gear and sounded pretty decent apart from the noise that started all of this. Also, with all the grease cleaned away it looks like I should rebuild the U-joint while it's apart.
