CLUTCHING
Clutch Assembly
NOTE: It is important that the same number and
thickness of washers are reinstalled beneath the
spider during assembly. The Teflon bushings are
self-lubricating.
Reassemble the drive clutch in the following sequence. Be sure
the “X”, or the marks that were made earlier are aligned during
each phase of assembly.
1. Install moveable sheave onto fixed sheave.
2. Install spider spacers. Use same quantity and thickness as
were removed.
3. Compress spider buttons for each tower and install spider,
making sure that “X”, or the marks that were made earlier,
on spider aligns with “X”, or the marks that were made
earlier, in moveable sheave.
4. Torque spider to specification using the holding fixture and
spider tool. Torque with smooth motion to avoid damage
to the stationary sheave.
5. Install limiter nut on top of spider using the Clutch Spider
Nut Socket (PN 2870338). Torque to specification.
6. Install shift weights using new lock nuts on the bolts.
7. Reinstall clutch spring.
8. Reinstall cover, aligning “X” mark with other marks.
9. Torque cover bolts evenly to specification.
CAUTION
Do not apply oil or grease to the bushings.
