While replaceing the water pump in my alpha 1 gen 2 I noticed that the drive shaft is able to wiggle side to side a little bit and it has 2 slight grooves just below the splines on top(I'm assuming from the upper oil seals) Is it normal to have the side to side movement? Also it feels rough when I turn it unless I lift up on it,then it feels smooth. Am I just feeling the gears or would that be bearing? Should the prop shaft have in-out play? It's about 1/8".
