TC Driven and Driver Parallel Issue

[metalthrashinman]

I installed a GTC Tav2 30-100 on my Subie EX27. The TC would not fit, so I had to rework the factory holes (at the time I did not know that I could mount the jackshaft forward, but it turns out that it would have hit the kart's frame unless I lifted the motor WAY up, so that would not have worked either). See pic #1.

Problem is that I did not notice until recently that ever so slightly, the TC's mounting plate bent when I tightened it down because the jackshaft's housing hit the motor. It is only a TINY bit off, and I am wondering if I should remove it and space it out farther in order to alleviate this. See the pictures and how minute the bend is, but it did make the shafts not perfectly parallel.

I have no problem removing it and making custom steel to space it, but would rather not go through the trouble if that small amount is irrelevant... Opinions?

Thanks.

i'm not sure how or if this affects the tc(blaz?), but your chain looks to be off to the left, and where is your bronze bushing? i would suggest you just fix it before running into more problems.

I wouldn't worry about something so small. R97, if its a 1" drive clutch there never was a bushing.

Yes, 1" drive...

Never pops the chain...

I thought it was okay, but needed to be reassured. Thanks a ton!!!!
