Clutch problem (Fixed!)

[Gofur1980's]

Hello, wanted to post this on here to see if I could get any help with finding this clutch online, broke it going 45+ mph downhill and it died when I stopped.

Ain't a clutch....its a CVT...... it may be okay, it looks like the crank shaft screw backed out, take it off.....service it, and you may be able to put it right back on and torque down the screw. There are lots of diagrams online to show you how it's assembled.

Thank you for the help, I’m new to modding, replacing, and engine rebuilds. The first thing I’ve done with an engine was swapping out the old Briggs and Stratton with this new predator.

It looks like it just unscrewed itself to me...

It's a completely serviceable unit, so consider spare parts and a repair.

Yep, I went to go take it apart and the screw was so loose I was able to take it out with my fingers, got it all out back together and it is working now.

Torque it down to about 25 lb ft. Put some blue loctite on the bolt. Careful not to get any on the driver unit.

Loctite and a fresh lock washer is my recommendation. But torqued to 25 foot pounds sounds about right too, but don't take my word for it.

Gud'n'tite!
