2arfe EB60 transmission bearing replacement and 6th gear swap

After getting the muffler attached on my 2arfe swap, I heard a supercharger like noise when the clutch was let out.
A little internet research and it turns out there is a TSB against the transmission- the rear input shaft bearing tends to go bad and should be replaced by the Camry EB62 bearing - 9036335080 (around $25). I decided to take the opportunity of an open transmission to replace the 6th gears with the gears from the Camry transmission to get lower RPMs at highway speeds.

I pulled the transmission by leaving in the passenger side motor mount bolt, removing the front and rear bolts (and rear subframe), and completely removing the driver side. Then I was able to tip down the transmission far enough to clear the frame rail. Anything to avoid refilling the coolant...

There was a lot of metal in the transmission fluid, so I will need to rinse it out well.

I opened the transmission again, following Marc’s instructions leftover from the shift detent installation. https://frankensteinmotorworks.com/MKIII/2ARSwap/documentation/EB60-EB62%20Reverse%20detent%20instalation..pdf
The bearing in question is the green one-

Remove the snap ring and look for the number on it.

Using this handy chart from Marc-

Order the correct part. There were only 5 left in the country for #5. It was around $3.

Next, I used a very large gear puller to remove the rear input shaft and 6th gear.

The bearing had some play and made some noise, compared to the new one which did not.

I used the same puller to remove the front angular bearing and 6th gear. There is no snap ring, but both are friction fit, so it takes a lot more effort than the rear. The gear is also sitting on an indexed shaft.

I am waiting on my new 6th gears from the EB62 (33429-33010 and 33337-33010) (around $220) to arrive, then I will put everything back together.
