T5 input shaft play
What is usually the problem when the input shaft wiggles alot and isnt stiff? The tranny is out of the car and when i grab the input shaft i can wiggle it a good bit. I put the shifter on the tranny last night and it shifts smooth through all of the gears. My freind is gonna rebuild it for me but i was just wondering what causes the input shaft to do that.

I need to know if i can drive the car for a few weeks with the loose input until i get enough money to have it looked at once i get a job.

when you remove the retainer there will be a race in the backside and it usually will fall out..under it is a shim...also check the output shaft tip for wear that the back of the input shaft slides into where all the needle bearings are that fall out when you pull it out
