Found these needle bearings? after my oil change

[mazfg]

As a thought (and lack of knowledge)...could that needle bearing have come from the O/D unit?  Only asking as they both share the same oil?

There's an overhaul kit here..but wondering if I do attempt what can of worms may lie in wait and generally what else might need changing?

if you are going to strip the box you need the mainshaft circlips and make be one for the stem gear
the bears shown dont have the circlips in the grooves so have to hope your old ones are flat.

has balls and springs for the  hubs  note 3/4 are different lengths to 1/2   get them mixed and you get either a loose or too stiff change

if you have a 4 sybcro box its best to assemble this vertical , have a dumm hard wood to support the mainshaft spigot then lower the case and mainshaft down the shaft tapping the bearing in as you go
this might sound daft but it stops the collet thrusts on 1/2 from bouncing out when you assemble .

make a short dummy layshaft to just fit the length of the cluster , use this to keep the nedles in place  
make a wire or string lop to use to lift the cluster up meshed ready to push the new spindle through the needles and past the thrust washers ,    

some vitesse had a 3 springs in the front face(held in by the c hsg) these  reduce   idle noise  backlash chatter to pre load the thrust washer , but not overly important
