Hey Fred. Thanks for the response. I've considered the possibility of there being a lack of quality on the installed bearing. I just didn't want to go there. Ha ! Either way it needs replacing.
I went to the Rock Auto site just for kicks and found numerous options for the bearings, some being the so called "self aligning". I wasn't aware of the type. I then did a search on the subject and here is one of the pages I checked out

I'll take a look at the parts you mentioned though when I get the tranny out.
