    I think jerseybigfoot?s spacer idea and msafi65?s heavy washer fix together with blue lock tight should fix your problem. I would also make sure the belt alignment is such that it is not putting outward pressure on the secondary. Let us know how you make out, a frustrating problem for sure.

    Yes, a thick washer is a good idea. It never occured to me the washer could be an issue.

    Regarding new input shafts, I can't find any for sale. Got any ideas?

    I think your best bet is to post something in the wanted section. They are available from Route 6x6, but I think you will be surprised by the price.

A new shaft and clutch have about .001? clearance.
    Do you have this thicker washer you make available for sale? I'd like one, with thr proper bolt as well. ?(Our hardware store doesn't carry the proper bolts, I have to cut long ones a bit shorter.)
    Thanks.
