Yes, the wishbone shaped clip. It's a drag clip and slows the spinning of the #4 gear down so it will engage the crank gear better. When the clip gets weak, the #4 gear spins too fast and grinds against the crank gear instead of engaging it.
As far as the play in all your other gears, I don't know. It could be normal, it's been so long since I was in mine I don't remember. I'd look at some exploded parts diagrams to see if anything's missing like spacers or washers. There's some good ones here .....
