Re: what causes main shaft bearing failure ?

I rebuilt my brothers transmission a while back.  The input mainshaft bearing was completely destroyed.  The intermediate plate bearing was intact.  I can't prove it, but I believe his bearing failed due to way too many forced 2nd to 1st downshifts.

I would imagine that you would need to replace the broken gears, as they are most likely stressed, and could break again.  Also, I would imagine that you would get some gear noise.
