How many miles on your tranny, its usually a good idea. At least I need to , since mine is on its way out.

Speaking from experience... I would change it. At the very least, make sure there's grease in it and that the seal is good!!! You can also get an idea of the bearing's condition by inspecting the input shaft for wear.
