    clutch basket slop

    Hey all, re-did my clutch basket with the 'tig'd' pins and shimmed springs this morning. Just thought I'd check with you all before putting the cover on to see if this little video of movement or play of the basket on the shaft is normal or I have another issue.
    See pic;

    See this link for the video as it's too big to load here;

    may be wrong but looks like the basket and the ring gear wasn't clamped together tight enough before it was welded

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Way too much slop for it to be that judging by the video. Looks to me as if you haven't got everything reassembled properly. Definitely need to pull it apart and compare to the manual.

        It looks like the gear and basket are moving as one ok, is all the needle roller assembly alright?
        It does look like a lot movement

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

          You need to REDUCE the shim between the inner hub & the spacer behind it. That is what controls the play you are seeing. I have different shims for this as it is something I have to do with the 1100/1150 engines when I set them up for drag racing. Ray.

            Thanks guys,
            Bearings looked fine actually.

            Rapidray- are you refering to the shim (flat washer) just behind the sleeve hub? Or, the spacer that the bearing sits around?

            Appreciate the feedback everyone.

              Turns out the roller bearing that sits inside of the big ring gear and outer basket had some play in it. The solid metal spacer inside of the bearing was tight with no movement on the transmission counter shaft, so that is being ordered today.
              Thanks for the feedback all.

                new bearings in and that was the difference. Zero play, tight as new I suspect.
                Thanks to Rapidray for phone advice before assembly.
                Going to fire it up this coming sunday and see it the rattles are gone-
