cases are split

I'm currently in the middle of tranny re-build. It seems the roller
bearing opposite the primary on the output shaft let go and was
followed shortly after by the disintegration of the ball bearing on
the left side of the shaft. Anyone been through this type of failure
that can possibly share any points or offer suggestions? Other than
improper chain tension, anyone have any suggestions what may have
caused the damage? Engine was never run low on oil. Judging from the
scoring on the output shaft it's pretty obvious that the roller
bearing failed first. I'm planning to replace all tranny components.
