Replace it with a INA bearing, new endplate bush and check the layshaft for wear.

running a 5 speed cyclone this was a new engine build from scratch new casing everthing i`m pretty sure it was an INA bearing , the Layshaft was a new MB . which is now scrap , badly pitted and so i think is the endlate
seems i did a few miles on it without noticing ...........just wondering why it has disintergrated , when iv`e never know one fail before

Has something else broken or disintegrated causing metal particles to break up the precision parts?

Although everything is now f**ked there`s no sign of anything else braking up only the one bearing
