 clutch question The bolt that threads into the crankshaft on my 36 prodrive came loose and therefore the clutch slid down luckily we caught it in time. So we pulled the powerhead off and fixed everything. Well now when the motor is in neutral (clutch not in gear) i know the piece inside the clutch spins but there is a grinding in there like the inside is grinding on the bottom piece. When i engage the prop then it all goes away and no grinding or anything at all. Then disengage the clutch and it starts the slight grinding/rubbing its not like a loud grinding to where it sounds bad llike something bad is bout to happen but just a light grinding and rubbing when not in gear and the motor is idling any input on that. Oh and the clutch is only like 5 months old with maybe 15 hours on it

Re: clutch question You prolly failed to properly replace the invectopermitter when you reinstalled the clutch. It insulates the derivative centrifuge from the shaft.

Re: clutch question Sounds like the clutch pads are touching when in neutral. Possible that something could b bent. May also just need to b put n a bind like u said. The clutch on my mower makes that noise sometimes too and the clutches r similar in design.

Re: clutch question Sounds like an issue with the bearings in the clutch.

Re: clutch question i would pull it apart just to make sure no bands are broken or anything like that. I would rather do that than be scratching my head 10 miles from the lading
