Troubleshooting, Continued:
2. Inspect the driven clutch for dirt and dust buildup on its component parts. Clean the driven clutch with
water to remove any dust or dirt, then drive the vehicle and check for proper operation.
3. If cleaning the driven clutch does not solve the problem, disassemble and thoroughly clean all parts of
the drive clutch. Be sure to clean the plastic drive buttons (10)
(Figure 17-5, Page 17-6)
.
DRIVE BELT
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
The drive belt should be inspected semiannually for wear and (or) glazing. If it is excessively worn, frayed, or
glazed, replace the belt.
As the drive belt wears, the engine RPM will increase to compensate for the change in torque converter ratio.
This will keep the vehicle’s maximum ground speed correct.
See Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications in the
appropriate maintenance and service manual.
