Drive Clutch Spring Inspection
CAUTION
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.
With the spring resting on a flat surface, measure its free
length from the outer coil surfaces. Also check to see that
spring coils are parallel to one another. Distortion of the
spring indicates stress fatigue, requiring replacement.

Shift Weight Inspection
1. Remove shift weight bolts and weights. Inspect the
contact surface of the weight. The surface should be
smooth and free of dents or gall marks. Inspect the
weight pivot bore and bolts for wear or galling. If
weights or bolts are worn or broken, replace in sets
of three with new bolts and nuts.
WARNING
The clutch assembly is a precisely balanced unit. Never
replace parts with used parts from another clutch
assembly!
NOTE: A damaged shift weight is usually caused
by a damaged or stuck roller in the spider
assembly. See “Roller, Pin and Thrust Washer
Inspection”.
