I do not have a clutch alignment tool and today find myself checking the alignment using the method described in the manual for performing the alignment without the special tool.
In looking at the manual, it says that the offset of the secondary can be measured from the plane of the back side of the fixed sheave of the primary converter. The measurement range is from 0.525 to 0.588 off of the outside of the primary sheave.
What I am curious about is where exactly to measure on the secondary since there is a step in the casting. The step is just a little over 0.11".
I started looking at the alignment because the belt has a steeper taper on one side making me think that the alignment might be off.
I appreciate any guidance from someone who has done this successfully.
Thank you.
