Please take a look at this youtube video I uploaded of my clutch hub rotated by hand after removing friction and steel plates. Zoom and and look at outer clutch splines at first part of video. Please let me know what you guys think.


Pinetop

 

The bearing is shot and probably spun in the hub like KP's did.

 

No.

Every clutch you try this on will do the exact same thing.

Normal

 

Every one I have ever tore down looked like this, and like you it surprised me the 1st one I saw. Put the clutches and plates back in there and ride it.

 

That's moving a lot. I don't think mine moves like that. I'll check for you tonight. I can see the groves in your outer hub, what causes that?

 

Do not go down this rabbit hole, You could be changing clutch hub bearing, clutch hub, maybe even decide it is in the inner primary bearing for tranny input shaft, then what about that outer case bearing and while we are there lets look at the other end of the shaft and get that bearing too, etc.....

Keep in mind you are turning the inner part which is locked to the tranny input shaft. In use the outer part is turning form the chain and riding on the bearing. You only get this movement when the clutch lever is pulled in and you seperate the driven from the driving side of the clutch hub assembly. All other times the 2 are locked with the clutch pack.

 

Won't those groves in his basket cause the plate
Tabs to hang up when he engages and disengages the clutch?

 

Mine were caused by friction discs tangs.

 

How does the bearing look? Is there play like in mine when taken off the trans shaft? Also your mailbox is full I for a message saying your full and can't receive messages.

 

The opinions and my surprise are the reasons I posted the video. I could not in English describe the motion adequately and now I am satisfied that I will decide the continued serviceability of this outer hub when I attempt to file down the outer hub splines to rid it of the considerable indentions made by the friction disc tangs.
