There is no need to change the bearings if the races and rollers look smooth. Just wash the bearings with gasoline, let dry then lube, and protect them from contaminated with dust/dirt.
The bearings feel OK on the bench but we'll see what happens with weight/load applied. Regardless I still want to pull it apart as I mainly purchased it for a learning experience.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

Halfway tempted to slap a new cover (w/new bushes), fill, and install just to see what 3.62 gearing feels like. The case was full of fluid, was quite dirty, but absolutely dry on the outside.
