I have a 00 trial blazer with the HPD reed convertion kit. on inspection of the clutches I noticed groves on the primary toward the botton like the clutch is not shifting out all the way could this be, is has a red spring 53s weight I think and a gold sencondary in the 2-2 slots lets hear it.

 

Are you using the HPD Kevlar belt? If so, this is normal...the price to pay for power.

NO. HPD wanted to much for there belt so I went to our freindly NAPA store witch I happen to know the guy and picked up there Kevlar belt for $16 is has outlasted the stock one by far and works good should I go back to the stock one? Or I guess I depends on what I want right. Thanks again for the info KEN

 

If you wanna play you gotta pay.What a true cliche.If you are willing to replace the sheaths regularly in exchange for the added performance of a low slip belt,go for it.

What exactly did you buy from napa?

 

I bought a replacment belt with kevlar lining, this belt is awsome hooks up good and realy does not slip had the same one for over a year now can't say that for any other belt I have tried, and yes I have tried them all I'm not just blowing smoke. So next time you belt goes out give it a try. It looks just like the HPD belt same thing

The belt that Napa has is identical to the HPD belt because it is made from a company called GATES.HPD just pays for the name and right to use it just like NAPA and NAPA is a whole lot cheaper than HPD.If you get the number from the HPD belt NAPA can cross refrence the number and come up with the same belt.
NAPA $18.00
HPD $49.00
