Recently had na issues with the plastic oil pump worm gear binding against the spline on the clutch drum.
It would get pulled to the crank, bind inbetween the spline, and driving the clutch drum. Did damage 2 worm gears that way.

Replaced the whole PTO side, clutch, drum, oil pump shaft worm gear, and the side cover on which the worm gear rides.
One tank burnt, no issues, before that not even 10 minutes na it would jam.


What could cause this?

Drum seems to not have any significant wear, cover has an install height difference of 0.5 mm. Shaft had wear on the teeth.
The clutch itself was noisy, but i don't saw any difference in longitudial play on the shaft allowing the worm gear to jump between teeth.
Clutch, cover, or shaft?
