That is a bearing journal but the rollers do not ride directly on it so as long as the bearing fits snugly on it after cleaned up, it is probably reusable. However, if you decided to replace it, our shaft should hold up fine.

Maybe you can give me a bit of insight then. I thought the bearing wasnt supposed to fit snugly on that journal. Every how to and video I saw said that bearing was supposed to just slide off.
What happened to me was that since th bearing failed, it locked itself onto the mainshaft. Since it was sitting directly against first, it applied enough force on the gear to turn the gear. Effectively acting like a permanent synchro and causing me a host of shifting issues. Hence the teardown.
However, if I do need a new shaft, how would I go about ordering one from you?

My main concern is that I had sent this shaft out to TDP to have them fix the 5-6 journals. Since they ship it back a couple of thousandths bigger than factory I had to press the bearing past the journals, and I'm a little concerned that's what cause the bearing to fail initially. The only other thought i have is that I somehow pressed 5-6 on too hard (by hand somehow) and it caused the inner race of the bearing to mushroom.
