I need to fix or replace the 5-speed tran in my 88 Montero. It's got a broken gear. I bought another trans from a salvage yard, same one, but the front shaft (input) has side-to-side play. I haven't measured it yet, but it seems like maybe 1/8" total. Any idea how much play is okay? The old tran has a much smaller amount of play. Thanks for any advice.

I would rebuild one of them before you put it back together. I'm in the process of doing this right now and its a pain in the butt Re: Manual tranny shaft play [Re: MADDOG] #968508 10/19/09 04:12 AM Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,712 East Wallyworld Vermont OldColt Roll Me Over The input bearing would be shot with that much play.

I've looked up the special tools for disassembly, and it's a lot of money. Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive source, or maybe where I can rent? Thanks.
