CLUTCHING
PVT SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
Clutch Alignment / Offset
The engine is mounted in the bulkhead so the drive and driven
clutches self-align under high torque loads.
Offset is controlled by the number of washers installed on the
jackshaft behind the driven clutch.
1. Remove drive belt.
2. Install the correct alignment tool depending on the type of
driven clutch installed on the snowmobile.
NOTE: A standard alignment tool will not work with
a Team LW driven clutch. Likewise, a LW alignment
tool will not work with a standard Team driven
clutch. A Team LW driven clutch can be identified as
having 24 cooling fins.
3. The optimum setup is when the front and rear of the tool
touch the driven clutch. No gap should be present in the
front, and the rear clearance should not exceed .060"
(3mm).
NOTE: If the front of the alignment bar does not
touch the driven sheave, the maximum clearance
cannot exceed .025
″
.
Offset Adjustment
1. Determine direction driven clutch needs to be adjusted.
2. Remove driven clutch retaining bolt, and remove driven
clutch.
3. Add or remove washers from the jackshaft between the
driven clutch and jackshaft bearing to achieve proper
offset.
4. After adjusting offset, add or remove shim washers from
the retaining bolt to provide a +/- 0.030
”
(.75mm) of float
on the jackshaft.

CAUTION
Always verify the driven clutch floats on the jackshaft
after securing the fastener. The jackshaft bearing will fail
due to side-loading if the driven clutch is not allowed to
float.
