blew the main output shaft bearing. also the used ebay transmission i bought has a bent output shaft. so i'm going to combine parts from the two since i have a straight output shaft and the other one has good bearings. already cleaned everything out and had put the "new" transmission in which supposedly was in perfect condition (****ing ebay liars) and notice a slight click when rotating the two gear sets together so i examined it more closely and its just slightly bent.

anyway heres some pics of the damage... you cant really tell from this angle but inside the bearing the bal cage is completely destroyed and pretty much disintegrated luckily nothing else was damaged by the debris
