Does it look like the bearing was messed up for a longer time than the rest of the stuff? If im not mistaken the inner race for the output shaft bearing looks pretty cattywhompus. If the output shaft could have been pushed away from the input shaft under severe load, the gear teeth would not mesh as deep. This would give a longer lever force to tear a tooth off. Also a messed up bearing would allow the shifting sleeve to move up and start rubbing the shift fork. However, it is hard to tell from the pictures which happened first the bearing or the tooth.
