clutch spacer

What's the deal with the floating clutch spacer for the REV's is it worth while or not?

Wtf

Nobody feels like sharing their knowledge with me today?

It keeps the shive faces from hitting each other in a fully shifted position, I the past the two halves would hit each other if the clutches shifted out too far, that spacer prevents the clutch from shifting out too far. I wonder if it my be contributing to belt slippage as there is nothing stopping the driven from shifting out farther than the drive.

A lot of people swear by them ... floating the secondary to help keep belt alignment is supposed to work, but I haven't tried it yet. There's a ton of input on it over at DooTalk.

Set alignment correct and there is no need....just a small amount of "float" as it comes from the factory so it doesn't preload the jackshaft bearing is all that is necessary IMO.

I agree with Winter Brew a small amount of float is good. Too much makes the clutch work to pull the driven over inline.
