That is so that the belt can self align, if you mean it moves on the shaft.

thanks old cat rider i thought maybe i had to shim it with another washer

3/4" sounds like alot, there should be one shim spacer behind the driven clutch its about 5/8" wide or so. be sure you have that one. but it should move a bit.

upersleder yesit has one like 5/8 but maybe the slop is about 1/2 inch i am new to the sport and just wasnt sure that was right so thanks for the info

that should be good, as long as the shaft dont move from side to side you should be fine. i like to use a very light coat of never seize on the shaft to keep rust from forming.
