clutch questions

[johnk1173]

I pulled the clutch to replace the steel/friction/spring. when i run my finger over the grooves in on the hub it feels like there are burrs, it is not smooth. This should be replaced?

when i spin the hub, after removing the clutch, it does spin freely, but the basket and ring gear seem to move inwards and outwards slightly. I haven't measured how far yet. problem?

What symptom(s) caused you to replace the friction spring? Just curious and hoping to learn something that might come in handy in the future.

If you are referring to the grooves that the discs use to engage into the hub and basket, it is somewhat normal if not too excessive.  While apart take a fine file and lightly dress the "burrs" away and the discs will be more free when released.  You may even notice easier neutral or first gear engagement if the were bad enough.

I agree, quite normal and as kd suggested, dress the areas lightly with a file to knock down the burrs and high points.
