Checked the shaft yesterday with a machinist's rule and found that approx. 1/2" from the splines towards the threaded end the shaft has a taper/wear in it that is roughly 1" long and approx 1/16-1/8" deep. I'm assuming that the rearend was run for sometime with a bad bushing in the clutch in order for it to wear like that. Not sure that the shaft can be fixed or used as is. I've order new seals, ramps and bushing for the sliding sheave and helix. Hate to think what it will cost if I have to get a new input shaft.
