cases split

[88mxR]

I have my 250r cases split and I am waiting for gaskets and bearings. What should I be looking for? Any clues on whether the gears, bearings, etc are still good? This is the second case I've split, but the first I am attempting to put together; any advice from those with experience would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

I can say from experiecne its fairly easy unless you accidentally drop a tranny shaft and pieces go everywhere. I hate to change the subject but where did you get your bearings for the motor? Did you just go and buy stock ones or is there a place you can go to get some? I need new tranny bearings to make me feel more comfortable but its outrageous to buy them from the factory.

well man i'd just check everything out really good , like the shifting forks etc. check for any signs of wear just check everything waste some time on it thats what i just got done doing with mine. I sent the motor to get a new bottom end to this atv shop. Like a year ago and i moved to a new house and some shit so i boxed the motor up till later . Later it didn't run . . . there was oil in my exaust too lol . I just took it all apart and checked everything and fixed a few thinks therewas not key in the magneto , power valve was stuck was open , wrong head gaskets fucked up waterpump and shifting was a little messed up . But i fixed it all now just wasted some time n checked everything

I haven't ordered the bearings yet, I am debating on whether to get just the crank or the whole set.
