Stripped the clutch on the Evo its got up and down play on the main shaft is the bearing knackered or is this normal.

Is it the shaft and clutch inner moving or just the outer basket moving on the shaft?

 

There's often a bit of float between the basket and shaft and it's normal as the outer basket spins freely on the shaft.

 

The clutch inner (and shaft it's self) is usually tight or may have a tiny amount of play, but will feel a lot more solid than the outer basket.

The play is on the shaft itself, I think it will need a new bearing, engine strip I guess to change the bearing.
