Also, wouldn't the bearing howl (all the bad ones I've heard did) instead of tumbling rocks?? Both first and reverse are just about the same ratio and put a bigger strain on the internals due to transfer of torque. I still think its a mainshaft bearing but we won't know until someone takes a look! ;) Todd Hill VolksWerks Transaxles Olympia, WA
