Hi BB - a bit more investigating. There is a shim in the clutch body where the engine shaft fits into it.I suspect this is due to the new motor and the shaft not fitting properly. This shim also doesnt allow for the key to fit perfectly into it as its a bit shewed. The key does go into it but I think the shim may have worn. I have also noticed that some the sections where the keys fit into are worn. See pics
