I have a wheat beer in secondary right now and Sunday I plan to bottle it. The beer is crystal clear in the secondary. Should I rack the clear beer into the bottling bucket or should I stir up the sediment before I rack to the bottling bucket.

Wheat beers are supposed to be cloudy, and I don't see how it is going to happen with this wheat unless I shake things up.
 
You will get enough yeast in to prime and then they will settle out. When you pour you can stir up the yeast on the bottom and dump that in, this is how hefeweizens are served.

What kind of ingredients/yeast did you use?

1 tsp Cinnamon (ground) - added during mash
