Type 9 probs
1- The input shaft on my type 9 has some sideways movement in it. I know this isnt right however the bearings arnt rough or anything. Have any of
you got a box like this and is the bearing easy to change?
2- Does the reverse require a push down on the lever??

Dont know about the bearing, mine was fine but reverse needs to be pushed down to clear the detent before it can be selected.

The reverse needs to be pushed down to clear the reverse detent.
Dont know about the movement in the input shaft though.
Edit: I didnt copy what viatron said, we just posted at the same time

LOl thanks.. I did wonder about the detent. Is this easy to push down when fitted with the gear lever cranked backwards to clear the dash? I find it
hard to do with it on a stand. Its messed up my plans for an extension. I was gonna nick jonbeedles idea..

You can bang the detent out of the gearbox if you want, as long as you make some device that stops you accidentally putting it into reverse when
changing down... 
Let me know if you want to know how to get the detent out (it's easy, but there's a little procedure that can help)

how much movement have you got in 1st motion shaft?remember it goes into a bearing in the crank as well,end of the shaft about 2mm either way should
be ok

If you've got play in the shaft then its likely to be a worn caged bearing between the input shaft and the main shaft that is faulty. This is a
bit of a cow to change as it requires a complete box strip.
