That shaft is supported by the ball race and the flywheel spigot bearing. Is
the slop radial or angular? Some angular slop is acceptable, but not much.
IMHO I would replace the bearing now, as you have easy access. Why create a
big job later and you'll only worry about every rumble and grind from the
bellhousing area if you don't.

Subject: [lro] tranny input shaft--time sensitive
Hey y'all:
How much slop should be in this? I am about to put a new (well, you know
... . ) tranny in Mrs. Merdle and am replacing the synchro right now. I've
noticed that there's LOTS of slop in the input shaft--it can wiggle side
to side a good bit. Does this mean that that bearing is shot?
Pls. answer quickly since I'll obviously not put the bellhousing back on
this afternoon if I need to replace that bearing.
yours,
bill
