Clutch basket loose from ring gear?

[Master of Faster]

I was pulling my clutch apart on the bench because I was splitting the cases to get my crank trued and welded when I realized my clutch basket was somewhat loose from the gear on the back, I can rotate it about 3/8". How exactly is it held on there, rivets? Should I just buy a new clutch basket and gear or can I take it apart and reattach it. I know there must be some way of doing it becasue aftermarket baskets don't come with the gear. What do you guys think?

Sounds like the problem is the rubber donuts in your stock basket are shot. Make sure the basket you buy comes with a new set of donuts. Aftermarket baskets come with a plate and bolts to attach the whole assembly together. You will have to drill the rivets out, new basket will come with complete instructions.
