My first thought is input shaft bearing? Obv premature wear cause flat spots on the ball bearings which cause an absolute racket., dont think ud be able to tell properly though without popping it out

Would this cause you to totally lose drive though?

So, assuming I'm a chimp..where is the input shaft bearing located, and how do you pop it out?

the input shaft bearing is on the shaft as it passes through the bellhousing

looks like you may have to strip the box to find the problem

But does it sound like the problem is definitely in the box, from your experience? Or could it be anything else?
