   Hello mate, someone correct me if im wrong.... but i believe there is a tiny little pin that goes in somewhere on the gearbox and when this becomes loose, it causes a bit of play! I remember AlexB showing me up at his!

    To be honest with you mate, unless its seriously bad...i would not worry! Im pretty sure its a box off jobby to change!! Or its in a really awkward position! 1 of the two!
