Picture Attachment problem (09 Jul 2022)
Due to the extraordinary growth of the membership and resources, we are once again bumping up against hosting limits. I am working on a fix. In the meantime, the forum should function, but you won’t be able to attach images. Working as fast s we can to fix. Thanks for your patience. - Makotosun

Is this cush drive a concern? was created by Billy Mild
What should I do about this cush drive issue? Does it just need new rubber or something else? How bad is this to ride around?

I bought these ring shims from McMaster-Carr: www.mcmaster.com/catalog/97022a409 and installed one behind the circlip to reduce the play. I only needed one, but they came in a pack of 5.
The inside diameter (ID) of the ring shim is only 2 inches, but the OD of the hub is 52 MM, a little larger. I ground or filed the inside of the ring shim until it fit on the hub. Then I installed the snap ring.

Looks like the circlip is there.
What is everyone doing to fix this type of issue?

Shims will work for a little while. I made one outta a soda can I cut open and flattened. ( mine was a 69 AT1M )
But after a bit, the wear on riding it that way...the rubber just gives out .
I.E - the sprocket will spin through the gears.. and the rear wheel will not.
And we all know , pushing a bike is no FUN !
Got one of those parts and never had that problem again.

I agree. I put one on a 69 AT1-E to replace the one the PO had siliconed in place to make sure it never moved, By Jove.
