Need Responce Asap (CLUTCH REPAIR)
Replacing the Textralia clutch after discovering a vibration. Pretty sure its a balance problem w/ clutch components, but trouble shooting other things during the process.
-The question is, Should the drive shaft going through the torque tube have any play in it. Just can barley wiggle the shaft a little, this doesn't seem to be a problem, just double checking.

Just Kidding.
Remember, the input end of the prop shaft is supported by those rubber bushings (which I would have replaced if they had more than 50K miles on them), so yes, there will be some play (it's rubber after all).
If you are talking about the actual bearing - supported internal shaft, I would think there might be a very, very small amount (think bearing tolerances), but if it goes "clunk clunk" back and forth, that's not good.
