NP205 questions

I removed my divorced NP205 and noticed some play if I twist the input and hold the rear output, I'm guessing about 1/16~1/32 inch and then removed the PTO cover and the gears looked great but I noticed that some of the play was in the input shaft to gear. Is this adjustable and how much is too much?
Thanks.

NP205 questions

I did notice something that did bother me. Some of the play happens when I hold the input yoke and the first gear it connects to on the same shaft and it seems some of the play is right at the base of the yoke. I'm guessing these have some kind of keyway or splines that they hold to. I would be surprised if they where held on with torque alone.

Maybe I need to retorque it?
