Hi, I found and checked the carrier bearing. It is as you said a short shaft then a long one. A steel bracket with a rubber inside and the DS running through it. It looks pretty good. I could move it about a 1/4 inch at the most but it is rubber. I was just really compressing the ruber. So I don't think it is that. I thought the 1" inch play was correct in the peddle, however after closer examination it moved about 1 inch but if I applied just a bit more pressure I could move it another 1". So I adjusted that and pressing the peddle feels much better. Didn't get to take the pan off yet. I will test drive it Sat morning. Thanks Rick
