I think i found what is going on.
I looked more closely at the inside of the drum, and the outside of the pump shaft. And i noticed some minor wear indicating the presence of a bearing. However the bearing wasnt there.
According to the breakdown chart, im missing part 228
Looks like someone was snoozing when they put the trans back together.
A quick flip thru the ATSG manual doesnt mention anything about this roller bearing that i could see. I have yet to dig into the benz manual and see if theres any notes about it.
I cant find a P/N for this bearing, and help folks
Thanks
