8. Inspect area on shaft
r
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
e
. Belt life will be greatly reduced.
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 during any clutch operation diagnosis or repair.
Check to see that spring coils are parallel to one another.
Distortion of the spring indicates stress fatigue, requiring
replacement.
SHIFT WEIGHT INSPECTION
Remove shift weight bolts and weights. Inspect the
contact surface of the weight
q
. The surface should be
smooth and free of dents or gall marks. Inspect the
weight pivot bore and bolts
w
for wear or galling. If
weights or bolts are worn or broken, replace in sets of
three with new bolts and nuts.
CAUTION
The clutch assembly is a precisely balanced unit. Never
replace parts with used parts from another clutch
assembly!
