94 CR 250 Ground Up Restoration IMS Wide Ratio Transmission Issue

[Moto7man]

I had to press out the "starter gear" from the stock clutch basket. I used a spacer from my motion pro suspension tool and the old pressure plate(turned around) locked in my vice to push out the gear. it was tight but it came out without a problem. The Rekluse instructions specified heating the new Rekluse basket in an oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, and freezing the "starter gear", then push the "starter gear" into the Rekluse basket. I used insulated gloves from the kitchen, placed the basket on a piece of wood for support on the garage floor. I expected the bearing install into the Rekluse basket to be a pain, but the "starter gear" dropped right in without a problem.

Then I drilled out the rivets on the old basket to remove the stock ring gear. Note the grooves on the old stock basket, yikes.
