Does anyone else have this problem. I've had the gearbox apart and I've had it looked at by other AE guys and it's built right it would appear.

Ideas please.
Just buy a shim kit and take out the play thats what I had to do with my B5r and B5M I also shimmed the diff, I think the top shaft is 4mm? It is unlikely to be 2mm of movement? I think mine was 0.5mm max possibly 0.4mm in shims but it felt like loads of movement. it still has a little bit of movement but you don't want it binding and going tight.
