Is some slack/rocking normal in the 901? There are no noises at all in any gear and she shifts OK (as good as this trans can) after I added the new shifter and coupling.

Right now I have RedLine NS gear oil in there but I'm thinking of making a change to Swepco or Kendall to see if the shifting can get even better.
I'm not a 901 expert (or a 915 for that matter). There is a lot of potential 'slack' points that could cause what you describe, such as mounts, CV joints, etc.
