R154 Carnage

Apparently this is what happens when your transmission guy forgets to install the snap ring on the outside of the counter shaft bearing.

The center race of the bearing ejected into the bellhousing after about 3000 miles.

This is installed into my 1977 Celica GT along with a 7M-GTE

if you are wondering, that hole is not supposed to be there!

Thats a nice bearing inspection port. Be sure to thank him properly for that. :kickinthenuts:

Txsupra is right, that's not a flaw, it's a feature. It also makes draining the trans a snap.

Warranty coverage at all or are you basically screwed and paying for a new one?

That is impressive! the hole looks perfectly machined, hopefully not too much is shagged.

I think I would use the photos against him and show his boss and his co-workers, unless of course he gets you a new tranny.

Ouch..Before I read what you said I was actually thinking to myself "I don't remember there being a hole in my transmission right there"..hahah.

Hopefully he pays for the fix or new trans.

It's not a big deal, everyone makes mistakes. The guy practially rebuilt it for free ad he really knows his shit, but nobody's perfect. I just hope he will help me with getting a new bearing, I can take care of the rest as long as the sides of the gears are not chewed up

ouch lol. He better take care of it for you!
