A833 1-2 Clutch Sleeve Gear Binding

Let me post a picture here in a minute or so to make sure I have everything back in there correctly. I'm pretty sure it is, but you never truly know!
I should have specified better - it is the reverse gear teeth on the 1-2 sleeve that are hitting the 1st gear on the cluster side. I can engage reverse without issue though with the sleeve in its neutral position.

I bought the rebuild kit from Brewer's. The front bearing and the center bearing provided in the kit are the exact same 307 bearing. I measured them against the bearings I took out and everything was identical.
Supposedly on the later 833s, the center bearing was a very light press fit while the early ones, like mine, have a heavier press on this bearing? It was a pain to get that old bearing off. It doesn't really make sense to me that they would use a press fit on the inner race as well as snap ring...but I guess that is how it is.
I heated the new bearing to install it and it went down all the way on the main shaft until it landed solidly up against the shoulder. Then the snap ring went in behind it without issue. It would seem that even if I had a thicker center bearing, it still result in the same gear endplay due to that shoulder...but I could be wrong!
