Keeping the wheel means a lot of trouble rebuilding onto the new motor -- not practical even if the motor had the same diameter and hole spacing. -- I'd go with the yose pedal sensor -- it's impressively neat and they even give you the tools to remove the left hand crank -- it's easy peasy -- also they include the tools to remove the cassette -- even a full set of Allen keys -- I had mine done in one hour -- and I have witnesses.
No what I'd like to be able to do is just replace the wheel new for old but not use the new parts other than the wheel. It's only the controller I would have to be concerned about. In that will my existing set up be powerful enough to run the new motor. I have all the necessary tools and a new pedal sensor coming. As advice suggested that the magnetic disc was the problem.
If it comes to it and I have to use all the components then it's just a bit more work.
No I wouldn't mix one company's controller with another's wheel ( motor ) I don't know that they would be compatible and it's probably very difficult to find out.
The instructions for that particular controller says it's compatible with any 36v battery so it's a great start -- means you get to keep the profiled battery.

So it looks like I have to work. At least I have options and it'll be interesting plus new components can't be a bad thing.
Someone on Pedelecs sent me a link to a company selling what might be a replacement clutch bearing. I'll have to remove the planetary gears first to see any parts ID.

If it's cheap enough you could buy the clutch and try it in -- if that doesn't work you can go for the kit. Just while I remember -- yose supply all the reduction gear bits for inside their hubs ie the plastic sprockets that eventually wear out.
