You took off the clutch and primary drive and starter motor and the alternator stator assembly. Is the gear lever shaft still in place. That would cause the problem

When the engine is on it's top at the right side middle there was/is a aluminum washer.
Is it stuck on the stud?. ...........lm

I didn't remove the dynamo rotor, but everything else is off.

Any thoughts before I get out the chain saw?

Thanks teaser & LM ... I just needed a bigger hammer and some more elbow persuasion. Told it who's boss, and it gave in to my will.

Voila: broken tooth (pic#3). I think Fast Fred might have a spare top gear. If not, I'll solicit here later.

Also, note the munged up studs (pic #2). Gotta remove them. YAY! I get to go buy another tool (stud remover) ;)

3rd picture is the issue of the missing oil-filter-rotor-washer (15493-259-000). If anyone has a spare one of these, I'll buy it. You can see the ring of "burn" from overheating. And yes, I rechecked the Parts Manual (pp 68-69), and it shows this as needing to be in place.

The washer looks to be in the correct location. ............lm

LM ... so you are saying that there isn't supposed to be a washer at the inside next to the case (see dark circle)???

Makes no sense to me ... AL rubbing against AL ???

ahh .. yes yes. It is steel. So no washer there.

But what about the excessive wear and heat?? DID the PO run it while low on oil? Should I just clean it up and move on?
