If you have the patience, a wire wheel and some degreaser is cheaper than sandblasting.. I will since it’s a built trans. I’m cleaning the spare and trying to source a reverse idler that I stole out of it. Just finished cleaning it and it’s still looks like sh** but it’s not painted. So I’ll probably end up sanding it or getting it sand blasted.You must be logged in to view this image or video.You must be logged in to view this image or video.You must be logged in to view this image or video.

Did you check the shaft play? You should've found the cause I would think
If those races fit snug I would disagree. Did you take apart center diff? All bearing look ok everywhere? That much aluminum I usually see a bearing destroyed and gears are eating at the case. I see this at the intermediate shaft more often.
25 to 35 per bearing??? x10
Yes it doesOn the ones you’ve seen the gears chew up the case, does new bearings fix the problem?
Yes it does
The intermediate shaft bearings are wiped out hence why 5th intermediate was contacting the bearing plate.
As for the intermediate shaft disassembly, just remove the snapring and press off the entire 1/2 cluster in one push from 2nd gear.
For the input shaft assembly, remove the 5th gear needle bearing sleeve, then remove snapring and then press off the entire 3rd/4th assembly in one push from bottom of 3rd gear.
You don't want snap ring pliers. These rings have no holes. You want lock ring pliers. Coincidently I took my trans apart yesterday
I had shaft play due worn out bearings and it made funny sound like driving some straight cut rallycar gearbox. The bearings itself looked good but races had really missing material when taking closer look. Im pretty sure too loose/tight shims will cause premature failure. Its pita to find correct shim plates as most of them are discontinued i have mitsubishi gearbox factory manual if you need any shimplate numbers or tolerance.
