ORIGINAL: runner1514

I just realized that my clutch bell moves back and forth a bit, about 2mm maybe 3mm max (I think). I'm not sure if this is new or not and I ran the car this way yesterday and everything was fine. I have already ran about 3/4 of gallon through the engine and everything is still the original pieces. I guess I was just wondering if that was normal or if the screw that holds the clutch is slowly coming off.

it looks like the clutch is sliding off the shoes. No this is not normal. It's hard to believe you haven't shredded a spur gear yet. You'll have to remove the engine and tighten the clutch bell screw in the crankshaft. Use blue locktight on it.
