There is some wear on the splined shaft from the transmission and the
clutch basket is wobbling on it with that loose nut.

Whats the fix for this? New guts for both? Steel epoxy with release
agent on one half? I dont think there is more than .010 wear..but there
is wear and the basket rocks significantly.

Vague half-memory:

Some BMW 2002 sedans had an issue with the output splines
fretting. Then at some point, usually startup from a stoplight,
they'd fail...and the unloaded engine would blow.

There was a extra-special epoxy BMW used to stop the fretting.
