no! the only bearing i can think of like that is on the end of the push rod and i havent got tha far, when the engine case is off one of the last things you do is slide the secondary gear back home, ive done this with all flanges in place and roller bearings it sits very well and looks as it should! the once you put the case on there is a ruber seal that makes contact with the secondary gear and slides over it as you push the case home, that looks okay also and the case tightend back up with no gaps or issues, i was wondering if there is awasher that goes between the outer basket of the cltch and the iner part, so that when the clutch nut is done up it holds it all together BUT i cant remebr taking one off and i cant see one if the parts diagrm. !!!!!!! max if its not the push rod your talking about can you paste a link to the relevant parts page and the item number? Cheers
