The input shaft is the main shaft splined to the clutch disc and turns the gears in the transmission.

The gears on the input shaft mesh with the output shaft gears and provide torque from the engine to the differential.

The input shaft has two tapered roller bearings. Input shaft end play is controlled by a selective shim located under the bearing cup.
