make sure the pulley splines are not wore out, they main bearing may also be toast.

I would bet some donuts that it is the bushing under the output drive gear. When that wears it seeps oil through the small seal and the output drive sprocket or pulley will wobble. Trans needs to come out and needs main shaft rebuilt.
