oh yes, and remembering all the bolts. i do feel that pain,, been there, , and then had to do length checks to sort it.
When I'm setting the transmission assembly back in place, I'll probably need the help of yourself and the others here to know what's what for some of the bolts.
Thanks for the interesting information and perspectives.
My removed bearings were NTN Japan, several at least.
The suspect counterfeit NSK 6305 (for output shaft area) has two stamps on it, decent quality, "NSK", and "6305N" only. While the stamp is fine, the NSK letters looks mildly distorted, skewed a little. Perhaps I'm not imagining that.
The one I pulled off in that position was stamped NTN, Japan TU, and 6305.
The box for the suspect NSK looks legit, nice actually, says USA on the sticker. 6305NRC3 to one side, and a bar code.
The new one for the input shaft is also an NSK, makes me worry a bit being the input shaft location, but has "Japan" stamped on it, unlike the suspect one, which has no country stamp. My main center bearing is a Nachi Japan. The countershaft bearings are all Nachi's.
Since I bought the trans rebuild bearing kit a long time back, seller probably won't give me a refund on that but I'll write them anyway and whine.
