So when I reinstalled my transmission and driveshaft a few months ago, I noticed the carrier bearing is able to move up about a half inch if I push hard enough, right where the bracket is. I have to put a considerable amount of force to move it up, and it means moving the trans. with it a tiny bit.
Here is a video I took. Yes, that is my dog breathing in the background
