Clutch Maintenance
Disassembly and repair of the driver and driven clutch requires special tools. The follow-
ing indicates that clutch service might be required:
• a drop in vehicle performance
• the clutch does not shift smoothly
• the clutch sticks during vehicle operation
• the drive belt wears rapidly
• the vehicle vibrates severely during operation
• the vehicle does not accelerate when the engine speed is increased with the
transmission in gear
• transmission will not shift smoothly into gear at engine idle.
Driven Clutch Inspection (Invance)
Inspect the nylon sliders every 50 hours. The nylon sliders are mounted in the driven
clutch moveable pulley. When the clutch shifts, the cam moves on the nylon sliders. Re-
place the nylon sliders before there is aluminum to aluminum contact between the cam
and the movable pulley. Driven clutch disassembly is required to replace the nylon sliders
properly.
Driven Clutch Lubrication
Lubrication of Driven Clutches is not necessary

if the vehicle creeps at idle or is hard to shift into gear, remove and inspect the driver clutch.
Service as necessary.
Remove and service the driver clutch if:
• the clutch plates have tracking grooves caused by drive belt action
• the clutch plates are bent or cracked
• the weight blocks are damaged or missing
