How much play should there be in the transmission input shaft? (side to side not in and out) The reason I ask, is that when I pulled the transmission out of the RX-7, there were some small metal bits that appear to be from the pilot bushing. Just a couple of small crescent slivers. The transmission input shaft can be wiggled around at least a few thousands. I'll have to get some more instrumentation for a better measure.
