One more observation:  The front race of the thrust bearing is not seated
against the gear as it should be.  Is it stuck there or just happen to be
sitting out in this photo?  If the drive were assembled with the race
dropped down so that it was pinched by the step in the input shaft, that
would explain all the symptoms seen in the photos.

This same scenario on the engine thrust bearing has caused grief to more
than a few engine builders.
