Message	In my experience, the majority of input shaft bearing issues are caused by install error and not anything wrong with the box. Time and time again, I've seen boxes misaligned when installed which results in accelerated wear and whine/rattle. Not saying that's the case here but if you had a shop do the work I wouldn't rule it out.
