You need play, or very light pressure, to compensate for the wear of the friction disk.

I believe 3 mm is enough. Bear in mind that the ratio fingers to disk is 7:1 which allows for very little wear in thickness of the friction material until the clutch is worn out (and you're riding the rivets).

If your play is too small or the TO bearing won't allow the fingers to move sufficiently your clutch will slip prematurely.
