Also forgot. Just because you address the bearing doesn't mean it fixed your problem for the long term. The bearing plate gets beaten out and so does a lot of other stuff. Things are no longer in tolerance and flex/bang on each other. Just a matter of time before it blows another bearing. Mine was bad enough that it broke a synchro ring and I found it in the pan.

Go to starquest so website and hit up Proffesor Quest's tranny section. Tells you how to check your tolerances and assess what your dealing with.

Untill you drop the pan your only guessing.
