I had my 1572 have the same condition with the hydro shaft becoming egg-shaped. It really did not really show up until I was randomly loosing sealing ability of the front seal and loosing hytran. As I was digging into it, I found the bronze self centering bearing at the pump end of the driveshaft was worn out and was allowing the disconnect clutch to rotate in an off-center out of balance condition. I believe this is what led to the problem with the hydro pump shaft becoming egg-shaped.
