Valeo Clutch Spline Play - 03 R53 Getrag

Hey Guys

Recently underwent a clutch R&R and upon install I noticed the clutch plate splines, don't know what it is really called, has some play in it. It seems as though the plastic carrier is loose? OEM clutch was a metal carrier so there is no such play, not really anything else to compare to.

The red arrows show the kind of play the part has. The splines I am talking about are circled in yellow. It moves up/down, left right. Must most importantly, it has a little twist to it which makes me feel it might shear if the clutch is dumped on a hard shift?



The yellow arrow in this picture show the plastic carrier that is on the valeo kits (not the same product however)
The red arrow shows the area the play is in. The plastic looks to have no movement on my kit.



Sorry if I am worrying over nothing, the car is my gf's dad's and so it has to be perfect

Thanks,
Shayan
