2nd Layshaft Bearing Failure! Please Advise

Your 3rd. photo is very contrasty but the end of the layshaft looks like it was supported on the end as in the layshaft was whipping causing those chatter marks on the end rather then a nice even cyndrical contact pattern as when layshaft is running true. Are the inner and outer bushings that support the kick shaft in good shape and is the outer bushing boss in the inner cover in good shape?

This could just be how the end of the shaft looks in the photo because the inner bushing looks newish and doesn't have matching chatter marks where the end of the shaft locates. I'm just curious about those chatter marks on the end of the layshaft.

Mainshaft bushes worn out.

That would not help

All those bits come in the kit

I mounted this, like M. H. sais.

Thanks for all the input, the kit may be the best way to go. I put the 2nd gear bushing back on the mainshaft, it wiggles like a stripper on a pole; I'm going to closely look it all over soon but right now I'm into my monthly plethora of deadline work. I'll post again in a week or so. Thanks again!

Cheers,
