I also came up with this wild idea I could have zero clearance at end of input shaft. I tried it and surprise, it worked. I called it a "cage cap". See my web site. http://www.maddyhome.com/canardpages/pages/alwick/index_files/Page404.htm
 

I'm not sure I understand.  Is the pictured shaft the input or output shaft?  Is the basic idea to just put a stiff spring between the input and output shaft so that one is always pushed forward and the other always pushed to the rear...eliminating the possibility of the input shaft building inertia?
