2000 srx crank
I was wondering if anybody had this problem I can move the crank in and out about 1/4 of an inch by grabing the clutch an pulling and pushing it

are u sure the whole shaft is moving?...it may just be the secondary sliding in and out (about 1/4")which is normal and designed that way to compensate for a variation in clutch offset....

Most common reason is the bearing moving in the cases. Not too bad of a deal as kart racers build that slop into engines. Personally – I don’t like the idea.
If it was me – you might want to split the case – if it is the bearings – you will see the wear.
I would peen the aluminum area of the case the bearing sits in. Then – use the good product like loctite or other good seal (non removable) and bolt him back together.
This would not be the proper fix – but works – until it happens again could be right away or 5 years.
Or - make the cases and bearings brand new.

If the bearing are moving side to side in this case the case is junk, the bearings in question are held side to side by a retaining clip, also, the 2 pto side bearings are flat rollers so if the crank can really move that much it would have to be broken between the second and third main, the 3rd main is a retained ball bearing which is what locates the crank in the case, and a 1/4" is excessive there's not that much room in the case for the wheels to slide that much, either way, rip it down and see what you see.
