both open is not good in many places.
all the internal bearings are open.
the front is sealed, on mine.
the rear main is open and has a case seal in the rear mid section.
and the rear mid has a rubber plug. seen here.
the other bearings are open and the directions are fixed due to the circum. snap rings.
i think ("?) the front bearing (pilot) is sealed because of the lack of proper lube at idle in neutral; my best guess....
the front cluster bearing is open.
5th?
the rear cluster 5th is loose.?
with the rear case removed its now just held by the cluster spline and that is not too strong. like that.
check the fit on that spine to gear 35.
and with 35 off feel the play in rear of cluster.? bearing 29 play.
or is this play in gear 23? top. that has a pin roller cage bearing 23???
the front top seal is controversial. lots of opinions, all ways. (rear side, is, front side is a must)
i think that is the only bearing that is confusing...
i guess the double seal (perm greased) is best in cold weather, when fluid is low ? and may run better? clearly there are both kinds, 1 seal and 2 seal front top. IN use.
i do know the top rear bearing does get damage from towing car, too far.... it cant get proper lube with engine not running.
but the front cluster spins full time and it's mate the gear on rear of input pinion spins, seems that would get plenty of lube there at idle..
on mine the lube can also pass thru the front cluster bearing (its half full of lube), and up the front cover. to the front of the top pilot bearing. it all open there.
so seal #6 must work in all cases. So the issue is only idle lube top front.... IMO.
i think most builders told me , both work find, front top 1 seal, and 2 seal. (even no seal) due to seal 6
