Re: Loud grinding on start-up
 

Why are you looking for trans problems? I've re-read your post and
nothing in it suggest the transmission is making a noise... what happens
when you start it out of gear without the clutch depressed? If it has
clutch start then disable it.

I would be looking at the starter, and the fan clutch and work my way in
from there.

Re: Loud grinding on start-up
 

I'm siding with Simon, here -- you've absolutely ruled out the pilot
bearing by starting in neutral with clutch engaged. You'll absolutely
rule out the transmission if the noise occurs when starting in gear,
clutch disengaged.

Re: Loud grinding on start-up
 

With that BA10, you really should do one more step: tc in neutral,
transmission in various gears. There are some strange interference
possibilities in the BA10 if the thrust spacing is buggered. That should
pretty well eliminate the transmission.

BTW, the BA10 - AX15 swap is NOT a drop-in swap! Do a little research
before you start it. All sorts of bits and pieces get involved, some
being real PITA stuff - like the transfer case input shaft and the pilot
bearing.

I see no evidence to indicate that your TO bearing could not be
ultimately at fault.

ASS-UMING anything is never a good thing. I say a teardown is in order.
