<VV> 61-65 4-speed front mainshaft bearing oiling

[Bryan Blackwell]

I'm with Hugo on this, the bearing shouldn't really need a shield given that it's inside the transmission, and I can't imagine why too much lube would be bad.  I'd add that transmissions don't get torn down at nearly the same rate as engines, I'd bet the ones you've opened up are as delivered.
