How difficult would it be to tackle that? I looked in the FSM and the diagram was hard enough to follow. I didn't even see it listed in there. After dropping the transmission and all, how hard would replacing the bearing be?

It's pressed onto the shaft. It will come off, but i think you have to have some sort of special press or something. I don't know what you could use that would allow you to take it off and not damage anything.

I paid the $900 and got the whole thing rebuilt from the ground up.

Ugh. Well, I'm about $700 short of that.

What other options are there? Just flat-out replacing the CA transmission? Doesn't a KA transmission work somehow?
