Clutch Disassembly
1. Using a permanent marker, mark the cover, spider,
and moveable and stationary sheaves for reference,
as the cast in X's may not have been in alignment
before disassembly.
2. Remove cover bolts evenly in a cross pattern and
remove cover plate.
3. Inspect cover bushing (A). The outer cover bushing
is manufactured with a Teflon coating. Wear is
determined by the amount of Teflon remaining on the
bushing.
4. Inspect area on shaft where bushing rides for wear,
galling, nicks, or scratches. Replace clutch assembly
if worn or damaged.
5. Remove and inspect the clutch spring. See “Drive
Clutch Spring Specifications” for spring inspection.
Cover Bushing Inspection:
Replace the cover bushing if more
brass than Teflon is visible on
the bushing. Refer to bushing
replacement in this chapter.
