If it were mine I'd get a used hydro they are not expensive usually on ebay, ------under $100
or maybe someone here has one for sale.
But I'd be taking it apart and see what happened.
I've had them apart, but you need to be careful and 100% cleanliness is imperative.
Also if it did indeed puke a bearing you have lots of cleaning of the whole system
and flushing out the rear end.
Now IIRR, the hydro is bolted to the case and there is a squarish cover on top,
retained with 4 bolts,if that is removed, I think you can see the hydro pinion where it meshes to the bull gear.
Now it is fuzzy in this old farts mind, so someone chime in if I'm confused.
but you might be able to see if the output pinion is flopping around because of a bad bearing.
