The one thing I did find, mostly just because it cut my finger, is that the ring around the bottom of the timing belt splines (timing pulley clutch sleeve, I think) has been mushroomed out to a very sharp edge- it may be difficult to see in the picture. Have I been bottoming the sleeve out against the bull gear? If that surface has been riding against the bull gear, could that cause the clutch dogs to knock against each other?
