Clutch Alignment Offset
- Thread starter TGitt
- Start date
polaris no longer sets up clutches by offset spec..its built right into the clutch alignment tool..the tool to use is the polaris LWT. clutch alignment bar..I think they run about 70-80 bucks thru the dealer..and a great tool to have...
TG, this is what the tool looks like..its a good investment..I check mine often and they do move off alignment sometimes...this tool works way way better then any of the aftermarket ones...get all your pro buddies togeather and split the price and share it...

just tell your dealer you need the LWT clutch alignmnet bar..it has been used on everything since the 900 came out....on the other side of it it actually says LWT in big letters on it..there is an old thread in the dragon section that has this pic.hang on I will get on the dealer page and look it up...

I like that I idea!!
But just out of curiosity, does any body by chance know the measurement?
If you look at the tool pictured, you can see why polaris no longer gives an offset of say 5/8. They are measuring from the primary face, to the front side of the team secondary. If you measured from the back of the pri to the back of the sec, you would get a diff measurement, due to the back of sec not being perfectly straight. This is why the dealers were required to buy this tool in 04, when they used the team sec.
yep..its the right tool for anything running a team light weight clutch/p-85 combo..some with a super small or large center distance might have issues getting it to fit right..polaris also has these for the older clutches as well..
i have the team tool like this one

OLD THREAD IN THE DRAGON SECTION
OLD THREAD IN THE DRAGON SECTION...........................?
1- (TOP TOOL) GOLD PLATED GENUINE POLARIS TOOL, "LWT and PART #" engraved on the top tool
2- (BELOW THAT) SLP offset tool for standard roller secondary TSS-98 (and can be used with the lightweight TSS-04 with .100 gap using a stack of feeler gauges)
3- (Above bottom in pic) Old style offset tool for use with button secondary
4- (bottom) Center to center tool from Hi Performance Engineering.
Keep in mind that the POLARIS tool has approx .070" of "kick" built in to them, which may be more than you want, and the SLP tool is parallel (straight)

RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB
Type of secondary determines which tool to use
EDGE, DRAGON, PRO have the same 11.5" center to center,
chassis, big block, small block, doesn't matter.
Old style chassis was 12" C/C
Some others, were 12.5'' C/C ('93 Storms)
IF you only want to purchase one tool, and you have different secondaries, numerous sleds.
You can use the same tool (SLP) on both narrow(TSS-04) and wider (TSS-98) secondaries if you use a stack of .100" in feeler gauges on the TSS-04 according to SLP instructions, so the same???? should apply to the POLARIS tool??

Read all 3 threads, great info guys. Time to buy a new guage, just not sure which one would be best, I have a stock '04 700 rmk with a team and a holz custom with a w/c triple with a team. I hate to admit I don't know which version of team is on either one?? The sleds are backing up on the lawn and hopefully soon I'll get to one of my own instead of helping buddys get theirs running.
