Hello, I wanted to see if antone had any experience with intermendiate shaft endplay. With my timing belt off, I can grab the pully and see a good amount of play, a couple of mm or more. Is this normal? One of my repair manuals makes mention of a thrust plate that could be replaced that could reduce endplay, but there is no picture or detailed description. Where could I get one to experiment with? Thanks for your input, Kenneth

Don't have an answer. But the intermediate shaft doesn't drive much. Maybe just the distributor which doesn't require much torque. And a fuel pump on carbed models. So play may not be critical.

I also don't know how to fix the issue, but I can tell you I've never heard of this causing a problem. I've noticed a little endplay in most of the ones I've changed timing belts on, but never thought anything of it. As long as the endplay isn't enough to cause the t-belt to be riding past the edge I would not be concerned.
