If you hold the outside edges of the front sprocket at about the
3-o-clock and 9-o-clock positions with the tips of your fingers, there's
about 2-3mm of play by pushing and pulling the sprocket along the
gearbox spline. If you try to twist the sprocket around the spline,
there's no play at all (thankfully), and if you try to twist it by
pushing one side in and pulling the other side out, again there's about
2-3mm of play each side. With the old sprocket and clamp, those figures
were up around the 11-12mm range!!
