Check those outdrive bearings

[TUCRACEMAN]

I just took apart the tranny on my Cougar and I was pleased to see that nothing was melted or worn. However, On further inspection I found that my outdrive bearings were absolutely trashed. I've seen outdrive bearings get gritty after months of playing with a car, but these were just screwed. A little concerning after driving the car for two days of practice and a total four five minute races. Not sure if I should call Schumacher or just order up some quality units from Boca. Anyway, heads up...anyone else had this problem?
