Hi,

Please understand this vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

As far as your concern, generally speaking, there can be a small amount of movement or play in the transmission output shaft due to acceptable tolerances in the gears, bushings, and bearings. However, excessive movement or wobbling isn't normal.

In many cases, output shaft endplay between 0.005 to 0.025 inches (5 to 25 thousandths of an inch or 0.13 to 0.51 millimeters) is normal. However, these measurements can differ significantly between various transmission types and models.

Let me know if that helps.

Take care,

Joe
