Belt deflection is too tight.

What Slim sez.

Also, my 04 just started dooing this--turns out the primary moving sheave bushing went bad and cocked the sheave on the shaft. Have to replace it, big bucks.

deflection

was set at 6 (max) i moved to 4 and it seemed to fix. does this sound right? how much was your fix? how do i diagnose? can you explain please? what does that setting 1-6 really do?

If this is the secondary then your are adjusting the highth that the belt ride in it. The high the belt rides 6 the less deflection you will have, hence the sled wanting to move foward at idle. If you drop it to 1 then the belt will sit down in the clutch to deep in turn you should notice a bit of slippage on a lite takeoff. Your belt should sit about 1/16th of an inche, or a lil more than a cpule fingernail thickness. That should be right if your center to center of clutch bolts are right.

deflection

is this adjustment just to compensate for diff belt manufactures?

is this adjustment just to compensate for diff belt manufactures?

And to adjust for belt wear. As your belt wears (sits down in the sheaves), you can adjust to keep the belt height/ deflection correct.
