What a greasy mess. It was caked on everywhere. Both CV boots went over time, plus a oil filter housing leak, then the shift lever leak. The clunk in the left rear finally did it. Clutch was shot. CV fell apart.
Machine a new bearing next week, trans back together, IMS, reinstall it all.

Factory calls out for a new gear box case. $900.
My Indy guy says mill out old bearing / bushing, press in new bushing, add new seal, done. The gearbox case pops right off.
A roller bearing would be a permanent fix. The shift lever arm is held in by one clip and the arm's shaft is not worn at all.

Correct. They have a machinist. Says easy job, actually. More like $350. Getting IMS for $750 with trans removed. I'm doing everything else.
The seal on the outside is needed too. The bushing takes up wobble and movement.
