the inner shaft should move, the outer shaft should not. if the outer shaft is moving a bit, you can tighten it by taking apart and accessing the bolts from underneath the converter pump housing. there is also a paper seal under that outer pump where the bolts go to it.

i couldn't tell you the difference between a 55 and 56 TC personally. i have seen the inside of two of them and most of the parts i have seen looks similar. i know that that inner shaft on a 56 has a different style bushing in it. it has oil grooves on the bushing, vs the 55 that is just a flat bushing. there maybe be other differences, but i suppose they function the same.

please see my blog, Henry's 55 Constellation, for more detailed pictures of the Twin Ultra and the inside of the TC.
