Excessive Crankshaft Endplay - Options 200 1986

Hi All,

My 86 240 wagon has 210,00k and a rebuilt clutch @ 90k.

A few days ago I starting having trouble shifting into R, 1st & 2nd. A couple days later I started hearing a loud knocking when depressing the clutch. Releasing it and the noise disappeared.

My mechanic said clutch is a bit worn, but fine and that the crankshaft had 1/2" play and that needed I to replace the engine.

Do I have other options? Is it cost effective to check thrust washers/bearings first? Would I have had more warning?

Trying to decide whether to spend 1,800$ for a new engine or get a new car.

Thanks.
