***FURTHER UPDATE*** Well, my fix lasted about 1 day. Next day, 5 inches of free-play was back and after driving it a bit, shifting became harder and harder. Drove the last mile home in 1st gear. Turns out it was the other thing mentioned a while back - the clutch shaft arm is broken - not completely, but certainly enough to cause trouble. This is the part that so many people here and on the vendors' sites say is prone to breaking. New parts on order and will try it again this weekend!
