The plain bearing in the input shaft was replaced by an anti-friction bearing (needle bushing).
As a result, the inside diameter of the needle bushing in the input shaft and the outside diameter of the journal at the output shaft have also changed.
When repairing a vehicle, therefore, both shafts must be replaced.
