That is great info - thank you! Do you happen to have a pic of this shim? or reference to the FSM? Are you saying that the new bearing does not require a shim? or are you saying that there are two types and I left a portion of it on there? The old and the new looked exactly the same.
I have the trans all sealed up again except for the input shaft cover so I will check it out this weekend. I will say that I do not remember a two piece center section of the countershaft bearing. It seemed almost too simple to change out. I did have a hard time getting the portion of the blown bearing off so I ended up having to put the puller on the gear and push it off while partially pulling the gear off. Once It got close enough i tapped the gear back on with the new bearing. However, I don't recall seeing anything left there that shouldn't have been.
A picture or some sort of visual would help until I break it open again if anyone has anything.
Thanks again for your help Ed!
Josh
