Like frank c's thread below, my driver side transmission flange shows signs of gouging from a CV failure. The odd thing is that unlike his situation, my spider doesn't show any wear or damage (clean and sharp) making me think that this is old damage from a prior failure. I know the CVs were done with the previous engine and trans were overhauled.
Should I replace the flange? Proactively replace the CVs as an "engine is out" preventative maintenance. There is some wear on the CV joint, but none on the spider. The outer boots leak, so I'm going to pull both axles anyway, but curious if this wear justifies further attention or do I reboot, repack and re-install and ignore the flange like the previous repair. Note, I had no symptoms of a bad CV joint. This is from inspecting the CVs while the engine is out. Attached image(s)

Those indentations look like they were done from round objects. Maybe the balls are rubbing. We all know how painful that is.

My guess is this cv was replaced and damage was from prior one.
