B5M top shaft side play
I've built my B5m and have 2/3mm play on the top shaft it's like the top shaft spacer is machined too short.
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. |

Hi,
As said, just shim it out. Easier to add shims to remove play, then having it too tight from new and having to solve that problem. FYI my B5m was the same, had to add a shim to the top shaft. MiCk B. :-)

Problem solved. I got a new top shaft spacer and the new part it 2.5mm longer than the one that came in the kit so it looks like a machine fault.
Thank you for the replies. |

I've just got the MIP top shaft and it eliminates most of the play and the quality is by far better than stock. I bought it new from a friend but when I looked in the UK I couldn't find one, they are only around £10 posted from the USA.

Yes I know that mate, I was just showing another option M.I.P are distributed in this country by Schumacher so the M.I.P top shafts might come in via them soon but are not advertised on there site as yet ! HTH
