I didn't have one so made one out of a 17mm socket and some electric tape. Usually you can just buy an alignment tool that you slide in while you torque the bolts. If you simply tighten all the bolts the clutch will probably be too low (gravity) and you'll never be able to push the transmission and motor together. The problem is the clutch itself needs to be centered with the housing, and therefore the transmission input shaft. You'd think they'd design these different to avoid the problem but they don't. This part can be tricky if you've never changed out a clutch. We can now attach the clutch and clutch housing. The steel we are using is considered soft and I didn't want to risk pushing the material too hard and strip out a hole on something that took so long to make. The original crankshaft this was on was a hardened steel.

The original specs called for 90 ft lbs of torque but I dropped this down to 70 with a small drop of loctite. I didn't want to risk them rubbing after perhaps the motor and transmission warmed up. With these bolts, and despite them being recessed were still very close the flywheel so I shortened the heads by. Again using some loctite and torqued these bolts to 40 ft lbs. Then I attached the spacers and adapter plate to the motor. Even if it did the coupler had to be pressed on and I can't imagine it will ever move again, at least not without using a puller. The 6-pad rigid race disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat.I started off by removing the bolt that holds the coupler and putting a drop of loctite to make sure it doesn't come out. With the 6-pad rigid race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster. The lightweight, rigid design allows for quicker shifts and smooth, trouble-free service. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for strength and durability. The 4-pad rigid race disc is well-suited for the smaller disc sizes in smaller engines.ĪCT's 6-pad rigid race discs are made with high quality, ceramic friction materials. With the 4-pad rigid race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster.
