Which transmission do you have? A4, M6 or an older 4 + 3?

Are you thinking of the rear transmission bush?
I know there is a bit of play between the yoke and the bush in the transmission extension housing, that is normal it did concern me at first many years ago but was told it was normal.
Has not given me any trouble.
I know my tail shaft / drive shaft yoke has a ring around it that looks like a ballancer, that is on tight and doesn't move. It could be mistaken as a bearing.
