Yep, $20 wrecker job it is then! Y'know when I moved house, I threw out a
200B tailshaft. As I tossed it into the bin at the dump, I thought... *I'll
probably need this in a year*
I suppose I just check the one at the wreckers for play too before I buy it?

Yep lots of mms of play there. I originally thought it was the diff, but
now that I think about it, how can the diff have play when the gearbox is in
first? I could be wrong.
