You need to use the 4.0 starter and clutch and flywheel.

You can use ur 2.9 clutch basket n flywheel on the Mazda trans
The only 4.0 starter that will work with your 2.9 clutch n flywheel is the 4.0 auto starter a man 4.0 starter will not engage and disengage correctly or you can use your old 2.9 starter

Thanks but nj is along way from mn , how much play should the input shaft have? None, some? If I grab it should it move? I just don't want to throw a bad input shaft bearing back in again,

The input shaft should have no noticeable play in it. The up side is that the M5OD's front bearings are pretty easy to service, so if it is bad it shouldn't be hard to replace before installing the trans. But the M5OD isn't as prone to bearing failure since they are of a much more robust design.
