Clutch

these auto clutches are junk.....is there an alternative?

You bet there's an alternative...QUENTON!

My 2005 NE-5 had an auto clutch too, which I referred to as a "Dynaflow", from the old Buick automatic transmissions. I hated it!

I ordered the components of a Slip Clutch from Dr. Q., and it's the best mod I ever made on OSCAR!

No power-wasting slippage. After slipping the clutch until about 10 MPH and letting the belts lock up, it's direct drive all the way!

I followed up with a Gates drive belt, too.

I think these shoes are too light to engage firmly at lower speeds and thats why they slip so bad till wound up......I may drill and tap a few holes in em for adding small bolts for weight.......I'd take a cvt over this garbage any day. Dumb bolt to tensioner is a lousy piece also....needs a bolt secured with c clips using shims to space things.........overall a junk part
 
The Slip-Clutch is utterly simple and reliable.

All it consists of is a pulley assembly with 2 sheaves on a common shaft, which is under spring tension. One sheave is connected to the engine with a primary v-belt, and the other to the driving wheel with another v-belt.

The clutch is disengaged by squeezing the clutch lever, which pulls on the tensioning spring, allowing slippage between both belts.

No friction shoes, centrifugal weights, or linkages to wear or get out of adjustment.

The slip clutch is the ONLY way to go! Get yours today, operators standing by! Call 999-YOUSLIP
