INSPECTION OF DRIVE CLUTCH PARTS
1. Inspect the idler bearing (6) for smooth rotation or seal damage (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of grease to be present at the edge of seal.
2. Inspect the bore of the moveable face assembly (14) for scarring or wear. The moveable face assembly
must be replaced if the bore is worn to a diameter of 0.883 inch (22.4 mm) or larger (Figure 17-5, Page
17-6).
3. Inspect the steel shaft (7) on the fixed face assembly. There should be no measurable wear anywhere
on the shaft. Replace the shaft if it is worn, scratched, or damaged (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
4. Inspect the thrust washer (11) for wear. If it is worn more than 0.030 inch (0.76 mm), turn it over or
replace it with a new one (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
5. Inspect the primary weights (2) and the hub casting for wear. If the primary weights show signs they are
touching the casting, the tips of the weights have worn beyond specification and they must be replaced
(Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
6. Inspect the pins on the primary weights (2). There should be no measurable wear. Replace them if they
are worn, scratched, or damaged (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
7. Inspect the drive belt pulley sheaves for excessive wear or damage. If the sheaves are excessively worn
or damaged, replace the entire fixed face drive assembly.
DRIVE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. Press idler bearing (6) onto the shaft of the fixed face assembly (7). Press on the inner race of the bear-
ing only. Make sure that the cup side of bearing is facing away from the fixed face (Figure 17-5, Page
17-6).
2. Using needle nose pliers, install the spring retainer (5) onto the spring (4) (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
3. Install the spring (4) and retainer (5) into the cup of the idler bearing (6) (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
4. Install the spacer (13) onto the shaft of the fixed face (Figure 17-5, Page 17-6).
5. Install a new spiral backup ring (12) in each end of the bore of the moveable face assembly (14) (Figure
