7. Place the alignment tool in the sheaves of the driven clutch
and hold firmly as you rotate it down between the sheaves
of the drive clutch.
8. As you rotate the tool down between the drive clutch
sheaves, the tool should touch the clutch shaft bearing while
maintaining a clearance of roughly .020” between the tool
and stationary sheave of the drive clutch.
9. If the alignment tool hits the stationary sheave before it
reaches the shaft bearing, the driven clutch will need to be
spaced out to correct the alignment.
• Remove the driven clutch. Add the required amount of
alignment washers to obtain the correct measurement
with the alignment tool. You may need to add more
than one alignment washer.
10. If the alignment tool touches the shaft bearing but has an
excessive amount of clearance between the tool and
stationary sheave, the driven clutch will need to be moved
in to correct the alignment.
• Remove the driven clutch. Remove the required
amount of washers to obtain roughly .020” clearance
between the tool and stationary sheave.
NOTE: The number of washers behind the driven
clutch will vary between vehicles.
IMPORTANT: It may not be possible to achieve
perfect alignment with the tool as previously
described, because of the thickness of the alignment
washers. It is better to have clearance between the
tool and stationary sheave of the drive clutch than to
have the tool touch the stationary sheave before it
touches the shaft bearing.
11. After completing the clutch alignment procedure, the belt
should ride in the drive clutch with an approximate .020”
gap between the belt and stationary sheave and a larger gap
of approximately .130” between the belt and moveable
sheave.
