Pulled my T45 due to at low RPM idle it would sound like it was knocking. Scared me because I thought it was rod knock but it went away once the clutch was pressed in. Input shaft had some more play side to side than I remember but it had a slight play in and out that I've heard is from the bearing + race. Pulled tailshaft housing off (for future forum dwellers, YES you need to pull the tailshaft housing off to get the input shaft out! Wiggle, twist, turn and you'll get it out.) and found 3-4 shift fork pad being broken on one end but the other fork looked fine.
Is there anything else I need to look for, or to replace while I'm in it? On a budget currently so I have the input shaft and counter shaft bearing + race to replace, but unsure if there's any other bearings I need to replace while I'm in it or anything else to inspect
Synchros have been good in the trans except for very rarely going into 3rd or 4th with a VERY quick shift would cause it to grind. I believe I have to pull the entire internals out to pull and press new bearing to the countershaft so I'll be able to inspect everything.
