play in T-5 input shaft.
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??? ------------------ Black,84 GT,ground effects,shorty headers, 'open' dual exh.,302 HO(no pollution control crap)bored .060, 10.5" clutch, T5,89 ported heads, edelbrock Performer manifold, Edelbrock 2122 cam, 600 Holley, high volume oil pump, front P235/60/R15's, rear P245/60/R15's..... Some day (3:73 gears & N2O)!!! will this ever end???? |

Well the imput shaft will have play up and down and side to side, but IT SHOULDN"T HAVE ANY IN and OUT. A 1/4" seems excessive though, I think mine had maybe a 1/16".
As for oil at the bell, it may be the rear of the pan. Were your bearing clearances opend up for use with that HI-Volume pump? I know my clearances were tight ant that HV pump was more trouble then it was worth, caused a lot of my gaskets to leak, swapping to a stock volume was the best thing I did. ------------------ Check Out My Site 91GT,Holley SysteMAX II Kit-Heads 2.02" x 1.60" port matched to a 1262,Anderson N-61,24#,76mm C&L,Full MAC, No A/C or PS or emissions, 12" K&N Filter,RNH PERFORMANCE Ram Air,Ron Davis Radiator,Full Suspension, SPEC stage III clutch, Lakewood SFI bell, S&W 8pt "X" brace,JAZ seats,3:73's,Welds..etc,4:30's and 31 splines coming very soon!
