Repair and Service Manual

Driven Clutch Repair

NOTICE
Parts must be reassembled in same position as their original
position. Mark all components to facilitate accurate reassem-
bly.
Some minor field repairs may be made to the driven
clutch. Remove the retaining ring (8) and remove the
torque ramp (9) (Ref. Fig. 3). Remove the spring (10)
and the moveable sheave (11).
Inspect the shaft for signs of wear and inspect the bush-
ings for signs of deterioration. If there is wear to the
point of causing vibration, the clutch must be replaced.
Torque Ramp Buttons
Remove any fragments and dirt. Remove the ramp but-
ton (12) by removing the screw (13) and washer (14)
(Ref. Fig. 3). The buttons are replaced by inserting a
new button and screw and tightening firmly. It is good
practice to replace all buttons as a set.

Driven Clutch Assembly

Assemble the moveable sheave (11) to the fixed sheave
(14) and insert the spring (10) in the pilot hole in the
moveable sheave (Ref. Fig. 3). Insert the other end of
the spring in the torque ramp (9) and rotate the ramp
counterclockwise 140° before engaging the splines and
inserting the retaining ring (8).

Driven Clutch Installation

Clean the rear axle input shaft and slide the clutch onto
the shaft (Ref. Fig. 3). Install the washer (7) to the clutch
bolt (6) and apply thread sealant to the threads of the
clutch bolt. Install the bolt and tighten to the specified
torque.

STORAGE

If the vehicle is to be out of service for an extended
period of time, the clutches should not be coated with
any protecting spray. The drive clutch sheaves may
develop some surface rust which will be removed within
a few minutes of running time. The driven clutch is alu-
minum and requires no treatment.
