ST10 Rebuild - Input shaft play question
Over the winter I rebuilt my ST10 to fix some wear issues. The rebuild appears to have been a success, but I'm left with a few questions.
1. I have a problem with popping out of first occasionally. Visual inspect shows that the ring appears to be engaged fully which I have it on the bench. Perhaps it is a little stiff and I need to play with the adjustment some more?
2. On the input shaft, I noticed some play that the cap may address. I have a picture:

The play is about 1/8" to 3/8" ish
Shows the gap in the gears (far right).
So, should I tear it down again for something I missed? What might I be looking for?
Thanks,
Brian.

Thanks. Perhaps someone will chime in with some experience. I don't mind tearing the unit apart again since I have it out, but I think we'd both like some idea of what we should be looking for, otherwise we may overlook it.
I actually have the overhaul book for this year, so I was pretty careful on reassembly, but that doesn't mean I did it right either. I might be the Bubba in this case.
