First off I would never allow one of my transmissions to get that bad. This transmission is now junk. The pinion bearing has blown apart. The pinion shaft has been allowed to move back and forth. I'll bet there are some teeth broken off of the ring gear due to the rear pinion bearing rollers getting caught between the ring gear and pinion. I have been working on a gearbox that had suffered this amount of damage. I had to cut the pinion shaft inorder to remove it from the case. I had to scrounge around for a serviceable ring and pinion and gears as the end gears were "welded" to the old shaft.
Unfortunately many 900 transmissions seem to be suffering this kind of abuse. Right now there is a shortage of serviceable used ring and pinion assemblies. A new ring and pinion assembly costs about 3/4 the price of a rebuilt 5 speed transmission. If you hear a whining on accelleration, especially in the upper gears, then have your transmission checked out. If it gets to the point where the gearbox pops out of a gear stop right there ! You may be able to save your gearbox. Letting the condition worsen beyond that point destroys the gearbox.
