driven clutch machining

MONSTER TRUCK · 08-22-2010, 05:56 PM

how much should i machine off the driven clutch on a club car w/fe290? just ordered 200 rpm drive spring, torque spring,timing advance key,carb jet and k n air filter. my neighbor is retired machinist w/ complet shop in his garage

will all these parts and machine work make a very noticable differance? I have an 2006 carryall with 8" lift, 2" aluminum wheel spacers all around and 27x 12x 12 superswampers rear 27x10x12 on front

thanks, Bill

It's to my understanding that you don't machine the faces of the clutch,
but, you remove material at the shaft stop to make the driven clutch open wider,

To be totally honest, I'm not a machinist, fabricator, or a welder, so I'm not sure how it's done,
I'm throwing this out there before you have to get a new clutch!

Carts Parts Plus machines driven clutches, and I'm not sure they'll reveal their secret!
But you never know, because their "good people"!
(I haven't had CPP do it for me yet... but I will... oh yes... I will!)

i ordered a bunch of stuff from cpp, maybe he will tell me if i promise not to share! does any body have any specs or drawings on the machine work for CC stock clutches?

did you ever figure out a good number for how much to take off from the 2 faces?

KRAZYMATT · 10-14-2011, 06:25 PM

well, i broke my driven clutch while removing it. I was going to tinker around with it some while i hunt for a new body for the cart. only upside is i was able to get a measurement of the thickness of the flat lands on the faces of the clutch. both pieces i measured came out to be right about 1/8" i suppect there may have been some dirt. (Actual measurements came out to .126, & .1275" on cheapy calipers) so now i wonder how much do you machine off and still have enough beef/support there? .015" - .020" ?

i will post pictures of the broken pieces i took measurements off of. i was only able to doing the moving sheeve. didnt take any specs off the fixed side. they should be pretty close. remember to take off the same off both faces otherwise the angle/profile where the belt rides may be off and cause unusual bealt wear.

matt didnt any one tell you that it is very fragile! cast aluiniun wil crack in a heart beat! just a nice suggestion for when you put it back on, antiseize! we all know how steel and aluiniun love each other! it hink i used a half a can putting my back together! but i gaurnette i wount have any issues if i have to tear it down again, other the the residue everywhere!

Here is the first piece i took a measurement off of. First Picture shows the piece. Second I Colored the area where I took the measurement. Third is the measurement. this piece measured .1275"
