Yea I grabbed the right driveshaft whilst removing the cable and there was no play....the reason I think it’s the pick up in the box is because when the plastic drive was removed from the top it was very tight in the holder and difficult to move. I had to clean both the inner and the outer And remove some of the plastic to make it spin freely in the holder...so I thought the worm may not have been able to turn it and sheared its lugs off ?
