The shaft that sticks out of the bottom of the gear
box and has the steering arm fastened to it runs
up inside the box through a sector gear. The gear
and the shaft have a keyway which is probrobly well
worn. On my Super A, I had a new keyway cut in the shaft, and sector gear 180 degrees from the old one. tightens it up pretty good. If you have wheel
weights on the front, and you don"t really need them
take them off, it will help keep the wear down.

Tie rod ends account for a lot but are easy to see (move) and easy to fix. Other problems in the gear box could be gear mesh related and may have an adjustment which allows you to increase the mesh (friction/mating/whatever) and remove slack that way. I am familiar with Fords and MF and they have such a device for each side. Not familiar with Red.
