Gearbox advice

[Kango]

Just removed my engine and gearbox today and noticed that there is a little up and down play in the main shaft. The box was running fine before taking it off.

Could someone tell me if it's knackered or not?

It's normal to have a couple of mm's of play

When I changed my clutch I was thinking exactly the same thing but was assured it's normal. The box has been fine since too and my spare box does the same thing.

Phew, that's ok then. Thanks mate.
