Would someone please address this question about 1st gear sliding hub endplay? Mine does the same thing.
If there is too much endplay, what problem would it create?

My guess: If the endplay is gone when in 1st, then it's not an issue (it looks to be designed-in, not a manufacturing defect). You could send the link to Magnus Karlsson and ask him, though; he's done some excellent gearbox and OD assembly videos. You could tell him I suggested him, he does know who I am:

The side play on the first motion shaft, I think, is normal (that's why you have pilot bushings).
