Been in that case several times. I have to be missing something

I don't understand how a straight roller bearing would get pressure on it to walk out.

I wonder if the aluminum retainer plate is just a little loose when it warms up. Maybe some retaining compound would help along with the strap.

Otherwise, wouldn't the front output shaft have to be walking a lot to shove it out? If the front yoke was VERY loose, then maybe it could walk backwards, but I doubt that you would miss that.
 
I don't think it's entirely uncommon. The NP205 we put in Nate's K5 had the strap on it. He was wondering what it was for, and I thought "oh someone put that on there to prevent what's happening to Mark's."

I'm thinking the plate might need replaced. It's probably not putting that much pressure on it, it's just that loose. Mark hasn't said the strap is bent; I'm guessing there's that much play between the strap and retainer.

Front is tight. But I have time to check

Strap was hard against the retainer
 
Hey @Bent77, In that 205 book I got, it says that that plate and bearing are non servicable. To be replaced as a unit. I wonder why they say that. I just pressed in a new bearing like you did. So far mine is ok, but I don’t have as many miles on mine as you.

I bet they're referencing the synchro plate that doesn't have a hole in the middle

Vibration of some sort is probably what's causing it to walk out and not actually being pushed out. Is there a shaft in the middle that stays in place that you could drill and tap for a retainer plate of some sort? I can picture it and I'm busy so I can't go looking back through your thread. What about sleeve retainer loctite on the outside of the bearing.
 
Could the problem be the aluminum retainer itself? Maybe the interference fit is worn out making it easy for the bearing to be pushed out under normal loads?

Could be a good excuse to get a blingy billet cover. :pimp:
 
Well, now that I think about it my theory doesn’t account for the bent bar.
