CLUTCH
7. Remove moveable sheave and note the number
of spacer washers. One spacer must remain
between the sheaves when adjusting belt
deflection.
Inspect bushings for wear
Moveable Sheave Bushing Inspection:
Replace the bushing if more brass than
Teflont is visible on the bushing. Re-
fer to bushing replacement in this
chapter.
8. Inspect the Teflont coating on the moveable
sheave bushing.
9. Inspect driven clutch faces for wear or damage.
10. Clean and inspect splines on helix and
transmission input shaft.
11. Lube splines with a light film of grease. Do not
lubricate the bushings!

1. Install moveable sheave with spacer washers.
Important: At least one spacer washer must be
installed. Teflont bushings are self-lubricating.
Do not apply oil or grease to the bushings.
2. Install spring, inserting spring tab into proper hole
in moveable sheave.
3. Insert spring tab into proper hole in helix. See
specifications at the beginning of this section.
The driven clutch, helix/moveable assembly has
several different spring locations which affect clutch
shifting and RPMs. The greatest amount of spring
tension will raise engine RPMs during clutch upshift
and allow quicker backshift or downshift when pulling
or negotiating a hill, for example. The least amount of
tension will create a slower downshift and a harder
upshift.
Align boss spline
to install helix
4. Line up boss spline and push helix down until it
engages the splines 1/2² to 3/4².
5. While holding downward pressure on helix, wind
