3. cancel the order for the rebuild kit
4. check the bearings I posted earlier, if they don't feel loose don't worry about them anymore.
5. order a new input bearing and input seal (#9, #14)
1. I'll do my best.
2. Still working on that. It seems pretty wedged in there. I'm really hoping the housing isn't damaged.
3. Done. Thankfully there will be no restocking fee, either.
4. I honestly believe they are all fine. Although the main shaft bearing came off the shaft and is still in the top half of the housing. Is that okay?
5. I've already got the seal, but Advance doesn't carry just the bearings. Looks like I may need to order it form the site you posted or somewhere similar.
With any luck, maybe I can get a few more thousand miles out of it while I hunt down a replacement. I really don't want to get rid of this car. I like it too much.
