Hi there,
I'm putting my mainshaft together, is the first gear hub supposed to have play on the mainshaft or held tight between second gear and the rear bearing? I have about an 1/8" of play.
Thanks,
 
There needs to be movement in the 1/2 hub so that the 2nd gear syncro isn't wearing all the time. The 1/2 shift fork detent keeps it is place once it is all assembled.
