I am in the process of replacing my input shaft bearing. I noticed the countershaft bearing in the case is sticking out. is this normal?

 

This might be common because I'm about to do this same job on my ex 5 speed and I have watched several videos on how to do it. One of the videos shows the tech tapping the countershaft bearing back in to reseat it and he did not make a big deal of it.

Solid you drop your tranny from the bottom or pull from the top? I'm still trying to decide which way to go.

 

I dropped it from the bottom. I posted a step by step diy on 7thgenhonda.com(diy eng and trans) on trans removal and Trans disassembly

 

Can u send me the link to the videos

 

Tap it back down and stake it in place with a punch. I'm not sure about these transmissions, but on the older D-series trans if the countershaft bearing walked out like that the transmission would pop out of 2nd gear.

 

I dropped it from the bottom. Its easnt too bad. I ended up replacing all the bearings an that bearing does not go in completely flush
