the pilot shaft end shows. at some time the fly wheel pilot bearing sized, and damaged the tip like that.
is your fly side bearing bad? some are just rusty hulks.
there now grab the front shaft, and move it side to side, if you see play , that front bearing is bad in the case. (very very common)
next check the 2 rubber plugs are not missing, top front of casing left and right, they are glued in with factory trim glue. i think. but are glued in, and if fall out , bad leaks. of GL4
neutral (parked) whine is kiss of death for box. (means it may just need new bearings. not toast ,not unserviceable.)
make sure bolt 54 looks un molested. no loose, not missing, or wrong bolt. if it does the reverse gear if misaligned will make noise all the time.

in most cases, the needle bearing will be like new.
#3 is prime fail, (huge stresses on this bearing, clutch there and all)
#11 next, and for sure if towed over 200 miles.... it runs dry.... and... oops....
many bearings don't spin at all in 4th (lockup) so , is a good fact. there.
part 29 bearing is needle on some and balls on others, my 91 was ball bearing. lucky for me the kit had ball type.
the cluster runs on 3 bearings,. and spin at all times. (clutch out)
some times bearing 3 is so bad, it make the pilot to front cluster gear whine, all the time. (look for bluing on gears, and is bad sign of overheated, and gear now butter like soft)
on mine the front pilot shaft end was destroyed, and suzuki charged me $150 for new one. i had spare junk yard trans and all were damaged there.
