Always check MTF strainer whenever draining the MTF.
Unlike other production cars, gears are not submerged in the MTF on our NSX.
It relies on the trochoid pump for the lubrication.
There is big piece of magnet at the base of trans case but not all materials are magnetic (liquid gasket, brass, copper, aluminium, etc) so you need strainer/filter before the pump.
As expected, despite the right inboard joint losing almost all of the grease, the excessive wear was actually on the outer side.
#3 roller didn't slide out without applying enough finger force from the joint housing.
OK to be re-used but another reason why one should not delay the drive shaft service.
Also, never lower the ride height or use aggressive alignment setup without considering the joint geometry.
Never pick the phone up especially when servicing the drive shaft.......
No further photos for the day until I clean my mobile phone…..
