7.
Remove and inspect limiter spacer (s)
e
. Replace if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT reassemble the drive clutch without the limiter
spacer. Belt life will be greatly reduced.
Drive Clutch Spring Inspection
IMPORTANT
Never shim a drive clutch spring to increase its
compression rate. This may result in complete stacking
of the coils and subsequent clutch cover failure.
The drive clutch spring is one of the most critical
components of the PVT system. It is also one of the
easiest to service. Due to the severe relaxation the
spring is subject to during operation, it should always
be inspected for tolerance limits during any clutch
operation diagnosis or repair.
Check to see that spring coils are parallel to one
another using a straight-edge. Distortion of the
spring
indicates
stress
fatigue,
requiring
replacement.
BEARING INSPECTION
1.
Rotate the clutch bearing in both clockwise and
counter-clockwise
directions.
The
non-braking
bearing should rotate both directions on the shaft
with only a slight amount of drag.
2.
Verify there is no binding or rough spots. If problems
are noted continue with disassembly.
