I seem to have a lot of side wards play with this transmission shaft and am wondering if this is normal, the bearing retainer is warn in the center, or the internal bearing is warn. An thoughts?

Where to find a new bearing is not known. To view your transmission parts breakdown, check out 'oldcarmanualproject.com', go to, 1929-1932 Chevrolet Master Parts Price List, select Transmission Group, page 25 Main Drive Gear, see: C Bearing with cup, main drive gear (not sold separately) $2.70 590545. See cutaway transmission picture at bottom of page.
