As some of you may remember, I have been having my 1997 RM125 rebuilt. New crankshaft, new top end, etc.

Well, I talked to the mechanic last night. He said he was done with the engine and was putting it back together. When he got to putting the transmission back, he found a washer in the midst of it that was all chewed up. Uh oh.

He said he didn't see any damage, but he's giving it to a friend who specializes in transmissions to see if there is anything wrong. The washer obviously had to be in there before when the bike was actually running to get chewed up, which makes me thing that might have been causing the clutch slips and sometimes unable to get the bike in neutral.

If the washer did cause damage, what would i be looking at for new parts? A new clutch kit/clutch basket? I'm not familiar with transmissions, so I don't really know the parts of it or what I would need.

If I do have to replace the clutch, and seeing as I am mostly going to be riding trails, should I get a rekluse clutch?
