hi all

The thrust bearing should be replaced if the needles or rolling surface are pitted. It is cheap enough I'd replace it anyway.

Hi Paul,

I'd be inclined to add the thrust bearing back into the mix. If memory
serves, I think the Eldo 5-speed simply used a stack of three washers
whereas the 850T 5-speed used and actual needle-thrust bearing.

new
seals and o-rings etc and after disassembly found there wasn't a thrust
bearing/washer pack on the end of my main shaft or even a bronze washer!
Interesting part is the tranny shifts perfectly fine with no grinding or
whining throughout all gears. Should I leave it like it is or get a new
thrust bearing/washer pack along with some shims? I did notice it also
had
the original style shift return spring, so while I'm in there it WILL be
changed out for the updated one.
