- You have a rotational/twisting force/pressure and a thrust/longitudinal pressure all acting on the same piece of bronze/component, all at the same time and/or in any combination at any time. Along wi

- Yes I think all is true & contributes to the failure but the endfloat is the killer. There's a lot of shock thrust load going on in there during on/off throttle, especially when second comes up again

- Here's another question. Why not have a plain bushing (no top hat) and a separate thrust washer? I contemplated doing this when I first ran into the problem with wrong sized bushings. Larry Young ___

- I agree. The "top hat" bushing goes in the middle of the mainshaft, with the 'brim' between 2nd & 3rd gear and the 'crown' carrying 2nd gear. Ok, a bit of thread drift here ... if you were machining
