Before you install
A main drive gear bearing supports the gear shaft inside the transmission case and carries the load of the gear as the transmission turns. When it wears, the gear can shift off its axis, which often shows up as a whine or rough feel in one gear range. Replacing the bearing is usually done with the transmission out of the vehicle, so the case, shaft and retaining hardware are open to inspection at the same time.
Because the bearing seats against the gear and shaft, check those surfaces for scoring, heat marks or play before fitting the new part. Synchronizer and gear teeth that show wear are often replaced together with the bearing, since a worn gear can damage a new bearing quickly. Use a proper driver or press throughout and avoid hammering on the outer race.
