05 bulldog, No start clutch basket rubbing primary…. Bearings? Input shaft?

problem with my 05 bulldog. Thought the starter was bad so replaced it and still wouldn’t crank. I removed primary cover to find the outer was chewed up from flange bolts (tight), and the front inner primary (engine side) was chewed up also from clutch basket rubbing. So idk if it’s my primary bearings, mainshaft bearings, or problems even deeper. But I also broke one of the flanges or dowels off trying to get the input shaft nut off, I didn’t realize it was aluminum and had a pry bar to hold it while using an impact and snapped one. A whole clutch is 1500 which I cannot afford. But there are 4 Alan bolts holding it on to clutch assembly it’s the hub that clutched ride on. Can anyone give me advice where to find a cheaper replacement part and possible advice on what my other problem may be that caused all this? I’m praying just primary bearings

It is very possible that the hub nut has come loose sometime in the pass, and did the damage to the covers. I see these kind of marks all the time. Show a picture of the damage you did. Someone might have an extra part laying around.
