    Comet driven preload

    The spring would tighten both ways, counter or clockwise. When I set the cam the first time doing it counter, the springs seemed all bunched up and were rubbing when rotated. I did it clockwise and it seemed normal. The way this one is mounted on jackshaft is cam facing toward motor.

    Comet driven preload

    Can anyone tell me if this is a proper preload on the comet 20 series driven spring? The video I watched was for a 30 series and said to go counter clockwise that did not seem to work for me so I preloaded clockwise. ---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM...

    I appreciate it. What's throwing me off is the torque converter I'm looking at buying has a plate that mounts to the motor and both pulleys, the TC I pulled off does not have that plate, it has the pulley mounted to the motor and the pulley with the clutch mounted to the jack shaft and of course...
