My car will be an ark, but they'll have to arrive 4 x 4.
Do you recall when you installed your countershaft where that front bearing is supposed to end up, exactly?
The manual says with the ring "just touching" the face. Which means given the thickness, that the bearing needs to be inset some, to make the slot smaller?
Intuitively, one thinks to drive it just so to where the ring slot's back (rear) is perfectly aligned with the case, leaving the front well above. But that would mean the ring is able to be well away from the face then given it's not a super tight fit in that circlip zone on the bearing (large outer ring)
As usual, when hitting it in, it might have gone in too far forward in the back, after not budging at all, decides to move easy suddenly.
I don't have any reference pictures of the front of my countershaft area I don't think.
