Duane,
You say shafts are new?Does this include the main shaft?If so I would consider it suspect and would check for excessive play at the mainshaft front pilot bearing at the main drive gear (pilot shaft).Also the sliding gears should be a tight but smooth slip fit on the spline of the main shaft.
A long shot (I'm not sure about effects), but the transmission cases prior to '29 (+/-) required thrust washers between the countershaft gear (cluster) and the case, one each front & rear.If these are missing there will be approximately 1/8" clearance for the gear to move fore and aft.
Keep looking, I gotta know!!!
Marco
