The input shaft on the gearbox has a degree of lateral free play, I'm assuming that to be as it should. Can someone please confirm for me.

Thanks again.

I think that the input shaft on the transmission is steel. The pilot bearing is usually bronze, so if anything is going to wear out it is the bearing. After you replace it, make sure you put some good synthetic grease on it

Really, you do need to grease it.
