While checking my U-joints I noticed considerable play in the output flange. There has been an oil leak around the output flange and so at first I thought it was just the seals going but now I think there must be a bearing starting to go as there is far too much play. There is also more noise from the driveline which at first I thought was u-joint related.

The reason I ask about the 240D is that the local repair shops only have access to information concerning NA MB sedans and nothing on the G(the G was never sold here so no surprise). If the tranny was used in the sedans I can hopefully get the parts/assistance I need.
