Testing The Spring Load Of The Driven
Clutch
Place the driven clutch in a soft faced
aluminum jawed vise and clamp so that the
movable face is free to turn. Clamp a good
digital or regular spring fish scale to the
edge of the moveable pulley.
Pull and note
the lbs. force while pulling, while it is
moving, and then note the force while
releasing, while it is moving. Average the
two numbers. That average number should
fall between 12.6 and 19.8 for Avenger and
18-22lbs. +/-3.7 for all other other models.

Driven clutch spring preload may be set
higher than the stock setting on Avenger to
increase turning (backshifting performance),
if necessary. E.g, if the vehicle is under heavy
payload or rubber track system is installed.
