Input Shaft

[Rick 91GT]

There is always a little movement side to side and Bob Hanlon has said that is normal it is just very important that there is no excessive endplay, that will kill a T-5 if it is too tight or if the bearing see's preload.....the front bearing on the T-5 by a bad design starves for fluid, if you end up taking the imput shaft out you will need to replace the counter shaft, and the 2nd and 3rd gear cluster as well as a basic rebuild kit $550 in parts. Power shifting kills a T-5, even when build properly.

Above I was a little out of context saying "1/4 either way" it will move side to side but should not be excessive. I have not seen a T-5 that didn't do that and I rebuild them.
