ok man thanx man , thats the only thing i haven't replaced, it has a lil horizontal back and forth movement but not up and down .
is that normal im not sure?????????? about 1/4 inch
im dont believe it should have any movement, although i could b wrong, im not an expert but i could visibly see that mine is damaged when i took the transmission out, it was damaged where it connects to the axle, but there didnt seem to b any play(movement) after connected to the transmission and bolted back in place, you can either find one in a junk yard or do what im doing, which i recommend is to just go ahead and buy a new one, i know that honda dealerships can get there hands on them, they cost around 200-250, and its an easy install
