RE: tranny mount guestion

when I drove the car up on blocks, I could turn the drive shaft with my hand about a 16th of an inch. Also looking at where the drive shaft enters the tranny, there is a mark that shows that the shaft is moving in and out about a 16th of an inch.

I checked them and couldnt find any play.

Are you checking rear end play with the car in neutral?
