Post GD35 housing rattle
Hello,
I have a new to me GD35 that all of sudden started lacking power. I noticed there is some play in the lower seal housing. I spoke to GD and they said there should be some play, but not much. Can somebody tell me if the amount of play i have is normal or abnormal? Below is a link to a youtube video. I appreciate your help.

That's too much play. But I am not sure if it's causing a lack of power like you described. Anyways, that needs attention quickly.
