Just an update for an FYI.

When I put the black spring in and took the shims out, didn't pay attention and put the belt back in backwards. Well, it was squeeling when idleing and I waited about 100 miles to see if it would go away, but it never did. This weekend, took the cover off to put the thin shim back in and noticed that the belt was backwards. To me, it looked bi-directional, but when I put the belt back in the right way, there was much better hookup and way faster takeoffs than when the belt was in wrong. I don't know why the difference, but for those who did it themselves and didn't pay attention, if you don't notice any difference, check the belt direction.


Again, just an FYI

 

is there an arrow on the belt showing the direction? the reason im asking is because the dealer put a new belt on mine and i would just like to check to be on the safe side. another thing, once you pull the cover off do you have to put anything on it to seal it up good so water wont enter it or are the bolts good enough?

 

yes, there is an arrow

 

Yes the bolts are good enuf,there is a rubber o-ring type gasket around the cover.Had water lapping at my seat last night and no belt slipping.

 

Hey there, i put my own belt on too and i had 2 shims removed earlyer on and i notice when i put my new belt on that there is squeeling when it is idoling in gear. But i figured this was from have 2 shims removed but maybe my belt is on back wards. hmmmm.

 

SCRODE:The squealing belt when idling in gear is normal with no shims,mine does it to.It comes from havin the belt a litttle on the tight side,just kick it out of gear when your not movin and that belt will last fer pretty near ever.

 

Thanx man, I notice with the new belt with no shims it sure grabs better then before. But that squeeling gets to ya, but i can live with it, that sound will go away as the belt wears. Later guys.

HEY

ANY PICS of the 3" lift how did you make it.

 

FYI the protype clutch doesn't even squeek at idle.

 

Hey there, i got no pics but all i used is iron. For the back you take to two 2 inch by 4 inch peices of quater inch iron and for the fron you got to loosen the struts and put little spacers underneith the struts and put the bolt back in. I dont member how many inch tubing i used for the front struts. ALter, reply back
