    I got a lil input shaft wiggle. Bearing?

    My tc input shaft seal was leaking big time. I removed my tc and found that the input shaft has some wiggle room. What needs to be changed? Just a bearing and a seal? Anyone had this?
    Thanks.

    mine does it too (275k or so). it's probably a bearing. I don't think it's a big deal since it's attached to the trans output which is pretty much solid. you could fix it if you like, but I don't think it matters terribly much.

      I see and agree with your point. I have to crack into due to the rather large leak from there so I figured on doing the bearing also. Just wondering how tricky this job will be. I'm a relatively experienced mechanic so it shouldn't be a biggie.

        Wiggle was ok. The front output seal was toasted

          your front seal could be bad because of the "wiggle" you speak of. was it damaged or just leaking?
