While inspecting the counter-shaft... I noticed that there was a small amount of side-to-side play on the counter-shaft sprocket. :yikes:
It did not seem like the shaft which drives the countershaft sprocket was moving at all when I was manipulating the counter-shaft to inpsect this side-to-side freeplay.
I'm guessing that the fact that the countershaft is worn and needs to be replaced... coupled together with a circlip which looks older and oxidized is what is allowing the countershaft to have some side-to-side freeplay on the splined shaft coming out from the cases.
Do all countershaft sprockets have this small/limited amount of freeplay? Or is this something that should become much better once I put on a new countershaft sprocket and new circlip?
