Anyone know how the splines on the driven clutch could get worn and eaten?? My '01 700MM secondary was spinning freely on the jackshaft, after pulling it off I noticed the clutch splines were worn completely off, but the shaft splines were intact. I was expecting damaged shaft splines since it's metal on metal, but nothing.

I've never heard of this happening before, has anyone heard of this or experienced it??

Time to look for another secondary again.
 
I would suspect loose retaing bolt let it "chuck" back and forth while accel/decell and eventually ate up the gear on secondary as its a softer metal.
 
Did first one do the same? If so you may want to check the run out on your shaft. If its untrue in will make secondary wobble, which cant be good either. You could go low buck fix with some red loctite or JB weld but would have to change shaft the next time you have an issue.
 
^ first one broke a slider mount, second had it's splines toasted.. if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all seems like.
