I'm finally about to install a carefully rebuilt 2.0 liter in an 81 vanagon - checking that main shaft tranny seal I see that the shaft itself has a bit of free play to it - i.e. a wiggle side to side, not solidly solid - does anyone know if this is normal? I'd barely driven this van before tearing it down, it seemed to shift and drive well - but I'd really like to know previous to installing the motor. Any info on this would be appreciated.
