I figure I should keep just the tiniest bit of play (less than a shim's thickness of play) like any clutch shimming. Great to know I'm not alone and it's not a defective part.
It does depend on how your two speed gearbox has gone together. Usually with the stock shimming there is plenty of forward and aft play so you can add a 0.1mm shim in the rear and see how you go. You can move the shims about until you like what you have - just make sure you maintain some forward and aft play to keep the stress on the bearings low and the transmission nice and free.
