Putting my tranny in today, I noticed that the input shaft has over 1/4" movement side to side...

this isn't normal is it??? it's been so long.

after i got it in and took it for a test drive, i noticed oil leaking from the front of the bell housing, again... All the gears seem tight and the trans isn't making any noises...

I suppose i need to pull it and replace the bearing???
