ahhhh

how loose should the shaft going in to the transmission be?
how do you seal it at the front??
my mechanic said its too loose

we actually found a waffle transmission on a Sunday night but it was for a morris and the fork pivot was on the wrong side. and it was so locked up we couldnt tell what the spec for that opening is,

it should be pretty snug if its a 1275 tranny.......
there really shouldnt be any sideways movement,
everything is to precision in there.....z
