Pulled out a T-5 last night and changing clutch kit, flywheel, fork, bearings and etc.

Been awhile. Input shaft does not appear to any evident Slop in endplay but does move up and down...which I recall is normal but getting old memory.

In and out play is what is critical. When you have the end play set correctly, a small amount of side to side play is normal
