Does anybody know how much sideways play is accepable on the inputshaft. I have just aquired a gearbox that has supposedly done 88,000 miles and the shaft feels quite sloppy. Does this matter as the end of the input shaft, when fitted to the engine, is supported by the crankshaft spigot bearing.

I have 2 type 9's and both of them have lots of play in the input shaft so I don't think it's a problem, I suspect they all do that. Turn the shaft and listen for bearing noise, it should run smoothley.
