I removed a washer from each gearbox and the problem disappeared. I really have no idea why there are two there, unless one is intended to be a spare? When I called AndyMark asking about this the rep just said to run the gearbox for a while which would, I presume, just grind away at that gear/washer. Glad I didn't do that.

Yeah the middle gear cluster has at least 1/8" of slop to it. I'm not familiar with gearbox design, but I wouldn't think that is optimal, why not send another spacer in the kit? Either way they are working now for testing. We might consider adding some spacers that are on order, but it means removing and disassembling the gearbox.
