    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.

    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
