side shaft play

Guest

i have a zf-2 running inverted in an ERA GT40
I have been hearing clicking noises coming out of the driver side half shaft. I thought it was a ujoint. Upon further investigation i found the side shaft has twenty thousands play when i grab a hold of the half shaft. I put a dial indication on the inner ujoint. I can see and feel the shaft move where it exits the side plate attatched to the case. My question is this acceptable and if not can it be removed from the trans in the car and repaired. It looks like a few bolts it should pull out. I'm just concerned about pullin that side cover off where the shaft exits the case.

I might add the opposite side has zero movement and the transmission has less than 3000 miles on it

Thanks
