CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
1. Using a permanent marker, mark the cover, spider,
and moveable and stationary sheaves for reference,
as the cast in X's may not have been in alignment
before disassembly.
2. Mark the stationary sheave and clutch shaft to verify
the shaft has not turned in the sheave after tightening
the spider during clutch assembly.
3. Remove the (6) cover bolts evenly in a cross pattern
and remove cover plate.
4. Inspect cover bushing
q
. The outer cover bushing is
manufactured with a Teflon coating. Wear is
determined by the amount of Teflon remaining on the
bushing.
Cover Bushing Inspection:
Replace the cover bushing if more brass than Teflon is
visible on the bushing. Refer to bushing replacement in
this chapter.
5. Remove and inspect the clutch spring. See “Drive
Clutch Spring Specifications” for spring inspection.
6. Remove the limiter spacer
w
and inspect for wear.
Replace if excessive wear is evident.
7. Inspect area on shaft
e
where bushing rides for
wear, galling, nicks, or scratches. Replace clutch
assembly if worn or damaged.
CAUTION
DO NOT reassemble the drive clutch without the limiter
spacer
w
. Belt life will be greatly reduced.
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.

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
