OEM bronze style.

Hmmmm.

Is it still stuck to the shaft? Or did it tap off, pound off, or resist your efforts so far?

Please do me a favor?

Get a magnet and see if that 'bronze' is magnetic.

The later ones have proven to be bronze in color, but very high in steel content. Probably that 'China" factor, again. Frowner That could explain it fusing to the shaft.

I am wondering how soft bronze can stick to the hardened input shaft.

And yes Julian, Dennis does use the needle roller style. I had it on 2511. It was a bitch to remove, but I pulled it and replaced it with an NOS true bronze piece.

I had never heard it might be a factor in shifting motion, though.
