Re: output shaft wiggles

Something doesn't sound quite right here.

Your tailshaft can't hit the housing unless you don't have a driveshaft, in which case you wouldn't be commenting on the sound it makes. There is a bushing in the tailshaft housing that the driveshaft yoke runs inside of to support the driveshaft and tailshaft.

Is the tailshaft housing securely bolted to the transmission? Does the driveshaft yoke slop around inside of the tailshaft housing?

Re: output shaft wiggles

A small amount of wiggle is normal. Can you roughly measure how much wiggle your transmission has?

The bushing in the rear of the case can be purchased and replaced. If it is worn out I would think it would be a good idea to just replace all of the bushings in the transmission.
