T*rsen trashed/need help

[james accordino]

Seems mine survived as well.  I probably drove over 1k
miles after the noise became apparent and 75 miles
dumping trans. lube out the back.  Removed carrier
cover and the oil seal is seperated into inner and
outer rings, and the rear bearing has only 7 balls
left.  Inner and outer races come apart on removal.
Very minimal debris inside case bottom or on mag.
drain plug.  I replaced both rear most and next inline
ball bearings (FAG #'s 6206-trashed, and 6010-seemed
O.K.) and oil seal.  4 hrs., 3 qts. of MT-90 and $50
and all is well.  Over 1k miles so far and no leaks or
noises.  BTW, the trans. lube cost more than the
bearings and seals.  Go figure.
