Input Shaft/Clutch play

[liftit]

I was doing some work on my variator and noticed that my clutch has some play in it. Like wiggle it left and right, up and down a few mm each direction. Took the clutch off and the shaft moves about that much. I took the gear cover off and the shaft and bearing look to be in great shape, but the seal looks like it is leaking gear oil into the cvt.

My question, should I replace the bearing and seal, or should just replacing the seal be fine? A scooternation post said that quite a bit of play was normal.

Replace all three, the 2 bearings, and the seal.

There's only one bearing.

Anyone else? Other forums say to not be too worried about it due to the cvt case holding the other end of the shaft in place.

Some play is fine, too much is not. If its got enough play to make the seal leak, might as well replace the bearing, seal, and CVT cover bearing. BTW, i think thats what rupert said?..

Where can I find that seal? The dimensions I pulled off of it are 17x28x5 13c. I can't find a seal with those dimensions on any scooter or atv site. I've even looked on gasket and seal sites and can't really find it.

Anyone have a place where they've gotten it before? Short case minarelli

Not sure if mine are the same measurement or not, but I used to get them from PFS . Don't see what you need there. They are overpriced, but some come up in a google search...
