The side of the basket is scored badly and I can't see why it would be that way ,the rest of it is smooth casting and although the only clutch I've done before was a stroker years ago I don't remember it like that , sounds like I was hoping that was what's wrong and then simple fix , the picture maybe doesn't do it justice how scored it is I've attached a couple more pics in the hope it shows up better . My thoughts were as it is a rotating part it must be balanced otherwise vibration would occur ( am I wrong in this thought ) and this may be causing the excessive vibration , also when the pushrods goes in it is catching on the side like a burred edge and it feels line there is grit rubbing it ( it feels abrasive and you can hear the scraping surely as the ball bearing is at the end of the rod it would contact it at the end . Although clutch works ok low speed it's very jerky and quite clunky on release .
