• Remove shims to decrease belt deflection
• Add shims to increase belt deflection
Refer to “Driven Clutch Service” section.
At least one shim must remain between the inner
and outer sheave of the driven clutch. If proper belt
deflection cannot be obtained, measure drive belt
width, length, and center distance of drive and driven
clutch, outlined in this section; all have an effect on
belt deflection.

If creeping or difficult shifting is experienced at idle,
perform the following clutch offset adjustment procedure.
Proper clutch offset should yield at least .025" clearance
to the sheave on both side of the belt.
