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 against third, 
& the tophat is supported only by contact with the end of the third 
gear bush.

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 with this factor is 
the
lack of a decent internal radius where there thrust portion of the bush
meets the journal portion of the bush. This leads to a 'weak' area where
these two features meet, and as a result of 'point loading' at this
position, the thrust portion of the bush usually 'breaks' away from the 
bush
portion.

We'll that's my take on the problem!

I think it's play in the main shaft, as things ware the gears move on 
the
main shaft, and that what's cracks the collar.
