Default Need some advise

Well the throw out bearing went out and I only found the cage and 3 needle bearings. I took a magnet and ran it around the inside of the transmission and came up with nothing. There are still 6 needle bearing rollers in there some where. So my next step is to drain the oil to see if they come out or if they are stuck to the drain plug. Now if I don't find them what should I do next. Should I pull the trans apart to find them or should I not worry about them.

i would worry about them. it is a pain sometimes but overlooking something like that will cost more when they decide to turn up in the gears while you are moving. who knows it maybe too late and they may have done some damage. but finding them now rather than riding and one finds a gear and locks your trans up while you are moving could cause and accident
