On the reverse gear and washers-I'm no expert but at least in the photos that looks pretty bad. I recall those surfaces being smooth as ice. Glad to hear Paul replied to your question on the video. I sent him a question or two through his site before I bought the rebuild kit and he responded and was very responsive and helpful them too. That may be worth a try. support@5speeds.com
Thanks again for your response. Hopefully I don’t have to worry about getting that front bearing out in the future. I’ve been looking around for a replacement thrust washer and I can NOT find on for the life of me with the exception of them being included in two kits costing $50 and over $100. Don’t really wanna spend $50+ on a washer so I have to keep digging around.

I did email Paul but may try to call him tomorrow if I don’t hear back.
