Just put a new slave clutch cly in and so the gearbox had to come off. Once all back together and the drive shafts still off I was just checking things out in general.

If I hold both outputs from the box and twist to see if there is any play I noticed a bit of play and a sound as it there was a slight loose bearing. Anyone know how much play to expect when you twist by hand both outputs in opposite directions? Car drives fine but suspect something might start to give up.

I have similar slack in my G50, but I also have up and down movement on the passenger side of my car's transmission.

When I get round to it, it is coming out and going away for a check over/refresh.

yep, difficult to know exactly how much slack to expect, but it runs really well. Just starting to feel a bit too slack.

Went to Brooklands on Sunday and got a drive around the Mercedes benz track next door - which was fun. Its a great working museum if you get a chance to visit. Cars, bikes, airplanes etc.
