I was just shimming up my output shaft on my transmission. I noticed on the brake side of the housing there is a second channel behind where the 5x10 bearing seatsimage.jpeg
The second perfectly seats a 8x16 bearing. So I put one of each on the stepped shaft and everything seams to fit perfect.image.jpeg image.jpegDon't see any harm in turning another bearing, and this gives me a 8x16 on both sides of the shaft. If anyone sees any reason this will cause future problems, or has tried this with bad results please let me know before I take it for a rip. Seems to fit nice, turns smooth
 
The only thing I'd suggest is to put a thin shim in there between the two so the smaller bearing race doesn't rub the larger bearing shield.
