164 tranny bearing

["Hardwick, Robert C" <Robert.Hardwick@domain.elided>]

Shop just told me that the front transmission shaft bearing is the source of an increasing noise.  I'd been hoping it was just the throwout bearing...

Aside from a new clutch kit, and synchros as needed, can anyone suggest other items to renew while in there?  Quite a lot of stuff must be removed!

And no, I'm not doing it myself.  3 children under 4 years old have reduced me to a, shudder, "checkbook mechanic".  Never thought I'd see the day...

cheers,
Robert
