Using too thin a rear cover gasket can have the same effect.
With the rear cover on did the shifter shaft have any end float? There should be a little.
There are 3 thrust washers when putting the bits back in before the rear cover goes on. Two go either side of the starter motor idler gear and the other one on the front end of the gear shift spindle.
You don't have two on the front of the shifter shaft?
