It's getting close to time to start taking apart transmissions so I can get at least one good one out of the bunch. I know there's been talk of loose bearing races in the case, but I don't know how tight they should be or how loose they can be before it's a problem. Is it a press in fit, or drop in with no noticable wiggle? Or do I need to measure it with some sort of expensive equipment? (all I have are digital calipers and a dial guage)

I believe the fit in the case is fitting the bearing race into a machined pocket in the case.. so i'd either have to freeze the bearing or heat the case. But that doesn't really matter as I don't think there has ever been a problem with it being too tight, just too loose. If I find that all my cases are loose, I'll try and borrow a telescoping guage and micrometer to find the best one (if it isn't obvious).
