For example, it would slightly creep on me in 1st gear with the clutch pulled in and it was also hard to kick over while in gear.

I have to mill off a couple .001" or so to get the basket all smooth again.
This should be good for another season or two. For now, it also saves me $200 (price of a new one)

Here are the pics of the refreshed basket.
