Trying to align clutches...motor won't move

[Esh]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Im trying to align my clutches...I have loosened all four motor mounts and the bolts for the front mag mount. I have racked on the motor and it will move to where I need it but settles back to where it started once I let go.

The mounts look ok, same as the day I picked it up at least. Its a 2015 with 800 miles on it. I don't see any broken or bent parts either.

Any suggestions? The first part of step three makes it sound like it will magically move itself haha.

Have to machine the straps. See the clutch alignment thread.

As stated in post #2; TRS posted how he does it. Trying to do it how the manual states will just wear all the mounts out prematurely. Never a good idea to put a mount in a unnatural tensioned state to get the engine in line. I'll dig up a link to the thread mentioned when I get to my laptop.

Reference this thread; http://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331118&page=2 Post number 40 now (must have been some deletions, as it used to be post #45) There is a wealth of useful information from the best minds in the business collected in that thread, definitely worth the read and book mark it.
