Uh Oh Spaghetti O.... Not sure why I never noticed this before?? Perhaps it was one of those "gunna" jobs...?? Strange that it still shifts gears fine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ2u0sMPqXU |

the slop doesn't look too excessive - probably quite normal. You could try a new sleeve and roll pins maybe. |

Should there be any play there at all? I would of thought it should be pretty tight? |

As long as the pins are tight (not any chance of them falling out) and there is no 'rotational play' (not sure of the correct engineering term) then I can't see a huge problem with it. Over time the pins will wear into the yoke and make the change sloppy but then it'll just be like every other rod change  At that point I usually grab a nice sharp drill bit and drill them out to the next size.

Yes, looks normal to me too  Though jubilee clips can help (& also prevent the pin from falling out). Of course positioned in a way they don't foul the gearbox casing

Hmmm, ok then...! I would of fitted new roll pins when i fitted it up all up. I just wouldnt of expected the shaft to have that much movement inside the sleeve and for the sleeve to have that much movement on the gearbox? |

That movement is normal. If you want to remove that play in it have another sleeve custom made up that is a tight fit over each shaft, Or have it bored out slightly and add an oil resistant rubber or nolothane sleeve inserted so its a tight fit. |

yep, all pretty normal there & in fact quite good compared to some MY advise to every one who uses rod change gearshift tho, is to use some "Tie-wire" through the roll pins as a "Just-in-case" |
