caffel is an unknown quantity at this point
pins out, coupling parts break?

To Al S.
Assume that you remove the pins, what do you think about the issue of lash between the motor side of the clutch/coupling (one side of the pin) and the output side (the other side of the pin). There will be over 10 degrees of free play.
When the motor starts or reverses, there will be a hard collison betwen these two parts.
Its kind of like a misalignment coupling but with the rubber star shaped insert left out.
