He's talking about the input shaft to the transmission as I understand him,
not the output, which is as you say.

'ball bearing channels' ?
I thought it was well understood that the junction spot ..where a stud keeps
the two shafts locked together ..with a splind sleeve over it, allows sfor
up/down, left/right wiggling.

Normal radial play, there should be no axial play. That's the clearance in
the ball bearing channels, and why you need a pilot bearing to support the
other end of the shaft.

Yes, I meant radial play, not axial.

Received: Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 10:40 PM If you're talking about
side to side play, that's normal.
The input shaft is held onto another shaft (can't recall part name)
with a small stud. There is a gear/sleeve that slides over both, but
my guess is that even with that gear, there's still enough play to
allow side to side movement.
Some images of what I mean (this is an air cooled, but same
idea):

I was looking at a (used) manual transmission today and
it had maybe 1/8" to 1/4" of play at the end of the input shaft. How
much is normal/acceptable?
