I've seen some posts on other forums for other vehicles where entire transmissions were replaced when this part went bad. Is it a complex job to repair? ............

From my experience, a failed transmission input shaft bearing is a relatively rare happening.
It usually goes bad if something else went haywire in the transmission first.
Yes, it's a bugger to replace; it seems that when they build a MT, they start with that bearing and build the rest of the transmission around it .....
Unless it's totally shot, about the only way to tell if it's bad, is to totally dissemble the transmission.
