locogato11283 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I hope you ordered a new bushing since that's what caused the problem. The bushings wear out causing the wobble. That in turn causes the gear to kick the clip off. I've had it happen several times. Replace the bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bushing doesn't come separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 i'd use a stock bushing. just something about steel on steel seems to not work all that great. but thats just me. and i'm probably totally wrong. but i just never see steel bushings in any other area used for rotation.. the end of the trans shaft you need to check and make SURE the circlip grove is complete and not chipped or broken off somewhere. i see this from time to time and its one of the reasons the circlip falls off. if you had that much debris in the bottom end for the love of god please just split it down and clean it all out. the gear wobblin didnt break the basket. the motor and asphault did it. if the gear wobbles a lot it can hit the rivets and other parts of the basket and that can cause the circlip to break off. the basket failure was all on its own. stock baskets blow up all the time. its actually very comon i dont understand why builders dont demand an upgraded basket, clutch, etc on ALL builds.. probably to keep from freaking out their customers.. i'd say matton. they have a very strong backing plate and excellent cusions. it would be very nice if they were hard anodized. 2nd to me is a hinson with mattoon backing plate and cusions. wiseco's suck! at least the ones i have seen. the bolts holding the backing plate on are total trash. had one last 30 minutes. most all other baskets are great for very low hp motors ( 65hp or less) higher hp motors need a stronger backing plate and better cusions. stock baskets use very hard backing plates and crappy baskets.. and even more crappy cast alluminum fingers. the the east coat basket warrantied against groving? or just breakage?

salmon_slayer06 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I got the aftermarket bushing from FAST. I had to use some 2000 grit sand paper so it wasn't too tight. It was a good fit after that and wayyyyy less wobble. Kit came with new c-clip i think. It has a built in oil groove on the bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
