What tends to happen on those B5 boxes is the mainshaft end bearing goes and chews up the main shaft and the casing with it.
Standard bearing doesn't have an inner race and the rollers run on the mainshaft
You can get them modified to take a stronger bearing these days
When I had my S2 RST the 'box failed about 6 times within 2 years, always the same thing
