C3 Tranny Input Shaft Roller Bearings- dropped!

Even with the advice in the shop manual I still dropped those roller bearings when working on the t-case-I knew because the tranny shift was stuck. So I removed the transmission and there they were at the bottom, minus one. It seems like you can just remove the input shaft then replace them without major dissassembly of the tranny.

Question, I am missing one bearing and need to purchase a pack. Are these the same bearings that are in the transfer case used for the output shaft? Toms and WH sell those (from the pic they look the same, question is dimensions), but I can't find anyone on the web that sells 'input shaft roller bearing' specifically without buying an entire rebuild kit.
Thanks

C3? That is a light duty automatic transmission used in Pintos behind a 4-cylinder.
Input shaft and bearings, are you talking about the stock 3-speed manual transmission?

If you’re missing one it’s either because it was missing from whomever assembled it previously, you dropped it outside of the tc or it is still inside. I’d make 110% sure it isn’t inside still.
