Hello, I am rebuilding my T56 and when I removed the 5/6 gear from the main shaft, i noticed that the main shaft surface was not smooth like the rest of the shaft. The surface has some brownish/redish layer to it which i removed with scotch brite. The metal as seen in the pics below is rough to the touch, as this is the main shaft i don't know if i should run it like this or if this is a sign of wear that warrants a replacement. Any thoughts?
Thanks again for all your help!

Is the reason that you believe i would need to replace the main shaft is because there needs to be interference between the 5/6 gear and main shaft? What could i do to confirm the main shaft needs to be replaced? Also you mention cluster is that 5/6 gear?
