833 OD sticking in 4th, chipped synchro
Here is a picture of a 308 SG8 and a 308 LOE. The snap ring groove is in the same position relative to one side of the bearing but is 0.030" shorter on the other side which would move the input forward.
Disregard my comment about 2 incorrect bearings--it can only be the front bearing since the rear would be a 307 in an a body transmission, not to mention that the wrong rear bearing in a 308 tailshaft housing (B/E/truck) would prevent the bearing from being seated or keep the snap ring from seating in the groove, depending on the situation. If the bearing is seated the snap ring will not seat, if the snap ring is seated in the bearing the bearing will not be seated in the tailshaft housing. This applies to incorrect 308 LOE bearing in 308 bearing tailshaft housings like used in B/E/trucks/vans. In other words, the incorrect 308 bearing is easier to spot when installed in a tailshaft housing.
