Clutch Issue
« on: February 27, 2021, 12:41:51 AM »
I got my ATV stuck in the mud and everything was underwater for over an hour.  The CVT assembly was definitively under water and when I opened it up to check it I discovered there was mud everywhere.  I took apart only the primary clutch to give it a deep clean yet was  unable to take the secondary clutch apart since I do not have the proper size socket.  I cleaned everything from the baked mud and after reassembling and testing the machine  I now have the problem that the clutch is always engaged and the belt is never fully released.  This makes it impossible to switch gears while the engine is running.  I have to turn the engine off to be able to move the gear selector and put it in the desire gear before turning the engine on.  Once I get moving there is no problem and the machine works just fine.  I did put all the parts back in the right order, including both the nylon and the steel washer in the primary clutch.  I was thinking about staking more washers to have more tension to be able to push the clutch plate away and release the belt.  Is that a good idea to try?  What else could be done to solve this issue?  Can you thing of anything else that can be causing this little issue?   Any help is greatly appreciated.

You probably put the oneway idler bearing in backwards. Common mistake. Otherwise you really MUST remove both clutches and disassemble both to properly clean. The bearing I refer to is shown as #17 in this pic:

Thanks  NMKawierider.... that's a starting point that I will be sure to check.   What is the proper way for the one way bearing?  Should it follow the same rotation than the belt? (looking at the ATV that would be clockwise I believe).

Easiest way is to hold the bearing and turn the engine in it's normal direction. The bearing should spin..not grab.
