Newbie needs help

Hey guys and gals, I am looking for help for a buddy. I knew the place to come is a RX-7 club.
My buddy just bought a 89 RX-7 with the 13B motor (injected is a 13B right?) When you push the clutch in, you can actually SEE the crank (or whatever it's called) move foreward 1/4 inch! What's the prognosis? I apreciete it a ton. I'm a real Jeep freak, so if anyone here has any Jeep related questions now or later, please e-mail me.
You can e-mail me any suggestions or questions or just post them.

Maybe it needs some new U-Joints. It could also just be normal because I know next to nothing about the transmissions in these things, tho I know plenty about the motors.

13 = 1.3 liter engine. All the 2nd gens are fuel injected.

More detail would be good. It's not clear what you are seeing move. Where is it?

It sounds like you are describing end play in the excentric shaft.
That is not good.

Hey JEEPGUY, I have bought stuff from Mazdatrix. As you can see from their FAQ's, they know what they are talking about.

Hey Liquid Anarchy, check your counts here. They only increment once on each thread.

liquid anarchy is definitely one of those, I mean does the number of posts you have matter that much?
