There's a trick concerning those pocket bearing rollers. Tilt the front of the transmission down at a pretty good angle before removing the input shaft and the bearing rollers will stay in the hole in the input shaft, even if they don't stay exactly in place. Once the new bearing is installed on the input shaft, pack the pocket with stiff grease to retain the rollers. Back in the dark ages, we used "cup grease"- - - -a very stiff, waxy product that was used in threaded bearing cups like the one on the side of a stovebolt distributor.
