I noticed in my transmission main bearing that there is some play on the

off more than I want to deal with.
Rich,
Depends on how much play is involved here.  If it's just enough to allow the 
bearing to slide out easily then yiu're OK.  If it's several thousands then 
you might save it by using Lock Tite "Quick Metal".  I've used it on several too 
lose press fits over the years with good results.  It's available from 
Clark's and maybe from some FLAPS.
