Well I took it apart, and you are correct the bearings appear to be fine, but also no teeth appear to be damaged ..

Now here is the strange thing , I put in the main shaft, the one going to the clutch, and it grinds , it is the only thing in it seems to grind when I turn it by hand ..

But when I pull it out, the bearing spins fine makes no noise and looks fine ..

I am confused ...
