Started on the clutch, Here is the basket in stock form with the gear attached
I ground down the rivets/pins and removed what I thought would be the gear. What I found was that the gear was installed on some sort of "damping" assembly presumably to lessen the shock of shifting, possibly vibration.
Next I need to design and fabricate a bushing of sorts to mount the pulley
Now!!!! Would you guys consider including the use of the same type of damping system in the new design or would you just bail on it and machine the tabs off of the basket and mount the pulley solidly to the basket with the bushing? Either way I know what I would do just wondering which way to do it. Wondering how much "damping" is really needed or how necessary do you think it might be for this application.
