I was wondering if anyone would have an idea why the spider does not run flat on the weights in my primary clutch? Could the rollers on the spider be worn out or the bearing on the moveable sheave? I replaced the pins, weights, and weight bushings. This is on a 98 ZL 500 with the nine tower primary clutch. The sled has 4000 miles on it and i replaced the pins and bushings 300 miles ago. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

do you mean that when you lay the clutch flat with the spider side up there is a gap between each roller and the weight? or is the whole spider crooked? one roller touncing others not?

I mean when riding the sled the buttons on the spider are rolling on the weights crooked. Off to one side. The weights are sitting on the pins straight. Just when the clutch goes through its cycle the spider doesn't roll on them right. On all of the weights. Does that help in explaining it? I know it is hard to understand the way i explain it. Just wondering if anyone knew?

You probably see a wear pattern on the roller off to one side, the bushings in the weights are probably shot, & the rollers are probably getting tired also, the weights look straight but if ya look close with a good light they are more than likely going a little sideways, when the clutch spins the centrifigual force wants to push the weights sideways as well as out, eventually the bushings get worn out in the weight. If the clutch is still fairly quiet & the rollers will clean up ok ,i would just put a pin & bushing kit in .once you remove the cover youll feel the slop in the weights.

It can't be the weight bushings cause i just put new weights in it and they came with new bushings. It also can't be the pins cause they are new too. So i guess it must be the rollers? Yes there is a wear pattern on the weights that is off to one side. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
