CLUTCH ALIGNMENT
NOTE: If a clutch or any clutch component has been
replaced or if the technician is unsure of shim quan-
tity/placement, use the following procedure to check
and adjust clutch alignment.
1. With the drive clutch and driven clutch installed, posi-
tion the Clutch Alignment Bar inside the sheaves of
the drive clutch and on the outside of the driven
clutch. Make sure not to damage or scratch the
sheaves.

2. The bar should just clear the outside edge of the sta-
tionary sheave of the driven clutch with a maximum
of 0.76 mm (0.030 in.) clearance. If the bar will not
clear the outside edge or clearance is more than the
specified amount, the alignment must be corrected.
ROV375
NOTE: If alignment must be corrected, add or
remove the appropriate alignment shim (p/n 1423-189
– 1.02 mm) or (p/n 1423-219 – 0.51 mm).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as required until correct align-
ment is achieved.
NOTE: To install left-side components, see Engine –

Installing Engine
NOTE: The driveshaft must be secured to the trans-
axle before the engine is installed.
1. Using a proper lifting device, install the front engine
mount studs into the engine mounting brackets. In the
chassis, install the new lock nuts but do not tighten at
this time.

2. Align and install the cap screws securing the engine to
the transaxle. Account for a spacing washer (A).
Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the
adjuster nut (B) but do not tighten at this time.

3. Using the appropriate center distance tool, install the
tool over the output shaft of the transaxle and using
the cap screw provided and secure it to the crankshaft.
