Technician B is correct. Input shaft endplay is measured using a dial indicator. The dial indicator should be clamped to the bellhousing and the plunger positioned in the center of the input shaft end. This provides the most accurate measurement of input shaft endplay. Measuring with a micrometer is not the correct method for this measurement.
