Awesome! Thanks for the bearing number, ill look it up and see what comes up.
Yea to me looks like someone forgot to put the bearing in, there doesnt look like there is any overheating on the pump shaft or inside the drum, so im guessing this drum came out of another trans and someone took the bearing out
Tonight i was able to polish up the races on the pump side in the lathe, i didnt take more then prob 0.0015" off so it should be good, plus its not a contact surface anyways. I really ddnt have to cut the race surface, i just touched the inner seal surfaces; the metal had just overlapped slightly. Then just hit the outer face with a emery cloth... Mirror finish.. Now the inner drum surface isnt too happy. I tried to polish it up but the gouges are just a bit too deep. So a new drum is prob in order. But i think i have a source on a few.
I have a spare benz complete seal kit that i bought for cheap, and its got a few spare white seals in the kit. Other then that, trans looks good. Cant wait to see if my efforts pay off
