Volkswagen Transmission Main Input Shaft Play
« on: July 09, 2011, 07:27:56 pm »
I’ve been poking around over several site and no one seems to (even the book) talk about play on the main input shaft on a 020 transmission nearest to the clutch/engine.

I do know play is bad but how much play is tolerated?

Watch the play on this shaft at YouTube

I didn't see any play in that shaft, what movie were you trying to show?

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Yikes, if that's the one he meant then that is definitely too much play!!!  :o There's probably no bearing left to speak of.

Umm not exactly. On the beetle tranny that is shown, there is a pilot bearing. This stabilises the input shaft to compensate for play. Not uncommon at all to see that much play in a perfectly fine tranny.
