Hi all, well back onto the car after a long break, its good to be back in the garage.
Just cleaning the gearbox and wondered whether people thought that this looks like the correct bearing ? The shaft it moves along is smooth however
the bearing seems to have small flat splines. There is some play when I rock the bearing on the shaft and wondered whether there should be or if there
should be next to no play at all?
Obviously I am going to be replacing the bearing but just thought I'd check before getting hold of the same one.
Many thanks, Andy

yip,stops it catching on the dust
Don't worry, as said they're just to reduce friction/sticking and not splines.
Its all correct, forget it and get on with something else
