After noticing my clutch was slipping I took the cover and plate off to see what was going on. I found that there was a little grease on the pads and wile cleaning it off I noticed there was a bit of wobble in the big gear. It's not side to side or up and down it's a tilting wobble. It doesn't seem right to me and I wanted to make sure before I contact the store I bought the motor from or try to fix it myself. It tilts enough that I can see the bearings but non have fallen out. I'm pretty sure the grease on the pads came from the bearings. The nut seems tight but should I just try to tighten it more to get rid of this wobble? Advice from pros would be much appreciated since most of my engine experience is from lawnmowers and simple stuff like replacing alternators or water pumps. Its not very good (flashlight and cameraphone) but here's a pic if it helps explain a bit better.
After closer inspection this seems to mostly disappear when the clutch is engaged and seems like it isn't an issue. But if it is please let me know.
