Guy brings one in and says it needs a clutch. I asked why he thinks so and his answer was everything is loose.
Well, the drum bearing is out as well as the washer and e clip.
But there is a three sided piece of metal spot welded to the carrier, and it is broken in half and has come loose from the spot welds.
We don't have the clutch, and it is NLA . 1113 prefix version if it matters.
So, I put it back together without the spotted on piece of metal and it cuts fine.
But, they obviously put it in there for a reason.
What can happen ? I really don't see why the clutch drum won't keep the shoes in place.
Could tell him to buy an aftermarket clutch.
