Nick,
Send me an email. I have a case that uses the caged roller and the main drive gear for it if you are interested.

Re: Counter shaft alignment
nanonevol,
After seeing shifter shaft, definitely safer to replace the case.
If there is no evidence of accident damage (like bike slammed hard by car, big hit to clutch deformed wall of trans, feeling for the rider right now), could also be a MoCo screw up, replaced under warranty, but not returned to factory for supervised scrapping, later re-discovered and sold off, not supposed to happen, but it did.
Nifty

Re: Counter shaft alignment
Already have a few. Now I'm making a lamp out of my old pitted gears and spent mainshaft.

Re: Counter shaft alignment
No, I don't have the base part it bolts to yet, I did try the top and sure enough, the alignment pins don't line up.

Re: Counter shaft alignment
Here is a photo I found on Ebay of a "new" main drive gear.
Can we assume the bushing is in correct?
(I thought I was being told it was the other way 'round.)

Re: Counter shaft alignment
Yep, close oil "scroll" to outside does not break out of bush (to keep the oil where its needed), inner helix grooves do break out of bush (to get the oil to where its needed)
IMO With the small seal to mainshaft, you don't really need the outside scroll.
But I wouldn't use the steel backed bush, go for solid bronze like you already have.
