I'd be a little worried about that gear (18 or 20 tooth?) that's hanging off on the end. We ran a setup like this, with the gear about .75 away from the plate, and we had nothing but trouble. When under load, the shaft can bend, so the gear was never in the right spot, and it wore really quickly and failed with under an hour of drive time. We had this failure with both aluminum and steel gears. The sloppy fit between the hex shaft (exactly .500) and the hex bearing (~.510) doesn't help.
