    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The transmission input shaft never moves in that video.

I think it's safe to say I need a new clutch sprocket. That's not normal, is it?

Plus the teeth are a bit chewed up.

Also, there's this:

That clearance gap is at least 15 thousands. There's plenty of room for that thing to rattle around when I let the clutch out- I think that's where most of the noise I heard was coming from. Is that normal?

Thanks

That's normal play in my opinion.
I've seen way worse grooves on the inner hub but that looks like normal wear. You can clean it up a bit if you'd like but I don't think it's bad enough to hang up the clutch pack.
Not sure what you are showing with the pressure plate in the second pic.
Check the springs on the back of the outer hub. Those can get noisy.

Yessir, I did the screwdriver trick to add a preload and keep those from rattling.

In the second picture, I am trying to show what is about 1/32" play in that engaging mechanism. Because the noise I was experiencing only occured when i let the clutch out, I suspect that this engagement mechanism is rattling around inside that hole when it's unloaded.
 
Check the needle bearings on the clutch actuator while it's off.
Those gears do have a lot of play in them but when the cover is installed the only play that will be in it is the small amount at the clutch lever.
