Yes, and if it's too tight, it won't be for long. :-(

I had the same problem when rebuilding my '75 TR6. The spec says that
the free float can be from .004-.008. Mine was .009. I put in a new
.05 on one side, and a new standard thrust washer on the other. Put
the float right at .004. Of course, this is all from memory, and this
was about 4 years ago. Check the float with a feeler gauge, the
procedure should be in the Bently manual. (I'd give you the
procedure, but don't have access to the info right at hand... Sorry!
Cheers,
