I’m digging into a 4 speed transmission that I got from a part out and the input shaft pilot bearing surface seems to be worn 0.010 undersize creating a ridge where it looks like the old bearing would ride. I’m assuming the bearing froze up and the shaft spun inside the inner race. It also has a red color on it so I’m wondering if someone tried a bearing retaining compound on it in the past.
I was hoping to just reseal and run it, but I’m feeling more and more like I need to take it apart. What are my options? Do I need a new/used input shaft? Bearing retaining compound? Hard chrome it back up then grind to spec? Run a bushing turned to size instead? I am open to opinions. Thanks!
