I'm not sure what the specs are for the T-5 but a small amount of tailshaft play is normal on all transmissions. Typically it is the tailshaft bushing that wears out first, before the bearings. Since these cars have custom driveshafts made up for them, you should also verify how far your driveshaft yoke hangs out of the tailshaft housing, if it is too much it will eat the tailshaft bushing very quickly, generally 3/4" to 1" is about right. I am speaking from experience, the shop that made mine mad it too short and I had to replace my bushing at about 1200 miles.
