Flywheel Help
my dad cracked the damn gear housing but got it apart. hes having the guy he was with look into taking it to a machine shop. although i really would almost rather have a a new tranny just so i know its all intact, i dont have to put it back together and because he said i need counter shaft bearings and some other 2 bearings that he isnt sure what it is (he said axel something or differential bearings). i have 2 input shaft bearings now i need 4 more and i dunno what 2 are. i havent seen the tranny since he took it and i dont have access else id look but does anyone know what he could be talking about with those bearings?
If you do it right, the transmission case basically falls apart, nothing should have cracked, it should come apart quite easily...hope the repair goes well. If you need any help i just had my transmission completely apart, to replace bearings and synchros, and it's back together now. shoot me a PM.
I replaced both bearings for input and output shaft, input shaft oil seal, diff bearings, cause i dropped in an LSD while i was in there, also you will need differential oil seals. If they are worn, i would recommend the input shaft seal you don't want gear oil in the clutch.
also i replied to your part number request

Yeah I checked that Thx I wish I knew what I need but i haven't been able to check it out. kinda think I need a new tranny cuz i think they jacked it up pretty bad. I cant get a straight damage report.
for disassembly, you need to destroy the case cap (MD746157)...other than that i have listed everything that "should" be replaced since it's apart(unless there is synchro wear or gear damage)...and make sure to check the shim tolerance on the differential. And come to think of it, you may want to replace the snap rings on the end of the shaft, where you replace bearings

Well are upgrading your clutch cuz I would upgrade th cmc too just incase I got mine waiting but I havent got anything in cuz im waiting on my new tranny to show up but I imagine bolts will need grinding but I haven't checked yet ill get on that just to see. The heads may need some grinding too the mine are the height and from i see they clear the clutch disc fine but the cm flywheel has so lil room I may do it for some extra measure

I don't think you gentlemen truly understand the weakness that is our CMC....save yourself future headache and swap out to the Evo 8 CMC. There are plenty horror stories on here dating back years of guys blowing their CMCs once they start messing with aftermarket clutches.
Simply put the o-ring in the stock CMC can't take the additional pressure.
