So this afternoon after work I'll be getting home, promptly jacking up my car on all 4 and pulling the trans...I always do this crap on the coldest days of the year lol. A little background, I recently got a metal on metal/grinding sound coming from drivetrain and after talking to a few people here on R3V and doing different things to figure out what my problem is I believe I have it figured out. It's the countershaft bearing.
My question is not on how to remove the trans, I'm very proficient at that since I've pulled the damn thing out a few times already. To change out the bearing I thought I was going to have to split the case open which I have also done and it's not a big deal but when I ordered the new bearing I didn't realize it came with the cap that goes around the bearing.
For those who have been inside the GETRAG 260, can you change/swap out the countershaft bearing by pulling this cap off from the bellhousing side and not have to split the case?
I was thinking since I have a new cap could I drill a small hole...very carefully in the center of the old cap from the bellhousing side of course and use that hole to place a ice pick or something similar to pry out this cap which would then leave the countershaft bearing exposed?
Thanks
Chuck
