I am concerned about the Type 9 input shaft flapping around in the 4AGE crank, I think this may be what killed my last Type 9.

Does anyone think this is a problem, if so I was thinking of getting a bronze bush made to help locat the Type 9 shalft

The front of the spigot shaft must be supported by a bush or a bearing or when you depress the clutch you are putting strain on the gearbox input shaft bearing,

You can get the bearing you need from RAW engineering.

Thanks for all the advice will get one for when the new box is fitted.
