I immediately checked my spare McClay THM200, and the output shaft was exactly the same. With the driveshaft installed, the movement was all but gone. Never noticed that degree of movement with Powerglides or THM350s. Does the driveshaft slip yoke stabilize the output shaft that much, in a THM200?

Mike, Yes, with no removable tailhousing , there's no support bushing in the rear, besides the very end one . Cost-cutting, no doubt.
