Finally I remover the secondary clutch and cleaned it and cleaned the spline on the shaft. Before reassembling I greased the splined portion of the shaft. Now it lasts at least a year at a time. So now as part of my annual maintenance I remove the secondary clutch and grease the spline. No more problem. I had been putting a few pumps of grease in the fitting on the clutch every year with no help.

That’s weird, I would think for that washer to fail there would have to be slack (not holding the assembly tight). I would try shimming up at washer 16 making it little thicker see if that might be problem.
Second thought, it could be bushing (16) worn or not machined to correct spec’s creating slack or too large? IMO I’d just buy replacement clutch see it that fixes the problem? It not you have one spare to swap out? Here what mine looks like, maybe can compare if see any visual difference from you’re?
