GONE - well, the backside one is....
cracked my D300 along with some other minor stuff, and am getting ready to move the guts into a new case....running 4:1 Lomax gears, 32-spline AA rear output, 32-spline front output....
the backside thrust washer for the intermediate shaft is GONE...like, pieces scattered throughout the oil, completely worn away....can't come up with any reason for it...same issue was 'showing' when I had the case out in Oct, but the washer was only worn then, not completely gone...
thots? hate to toss everything into a 'new' case only to have this washer disintegrate again for something I did incorrectly....
TIA...
