The clutchbell should move only about 1mm.
The flywheel should not move as it should be tightened against the cone shaped washer and shims which are against the front bearing of the engine. If your flywheel is moving back and forth straight out from your engine, then you are lucky that your vehicle is moving.

just like bill said. Your flywheel should NOT more freely. The fact that your clutch is engaging tells me that there is enough friction between the cone and the flywheel to get it moving, the problem is that it's slipping. Basically ruing the cone. I would remove the flywheel and check the cone. You'll probably need to replace it, when (if) you do make sure you tighten the flywheel wheel back down REAL good.

I use Blue Loctite on the clutch nut. It is just extra insurance to prevent it coming loose. Use one of the tools to hold your piston while tightening. One type of tool holds the con rod at the crank pin by a kind of wedging action (I think this is the best way) it is made by OS engines and is made out of nylon or plastic. Another kind is basically a steel bolt that screws into the glow plug hole and the piston then butts against the end of the tool, I think Duratrax among others make this kind of tool

Is it just me, or is the engine alignment out ? It looks like its on an angle to the main gear, which, if it is, i know from experience, is NOT a good thing as it wears the main gear and clutch bell out faster than under normal conditions. As for the flywheel, REPLACE THE CONE, as these do tend to wear. Other than that, LINE THAT INGINE UP SO THE CLUTCH BELL IS PARALEL (in a straight line) WITH THE MAIN GEAR

You may be right, it does look a little out of alighnment.
