D17 hand clutch

Mark1248 · Oct 21, 2012

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make the hand clutch hold from slipping on a D17 that I have a small block Chevy in? It will hold up to ths rpms but not the power. If not, how do I delete the hand clutch-my last choice as I want all eight gear choices. Thanks, Mark.

Does it "snap" tight into both high and low side? If not, it need work.

Did you put the V8 in the tractor? or did you buy it like that? If you put it in yourself, how difficult was it to do?

You can adjust the hand clutch,remove the cover on right side were oil lines go on into it. There are three places on this clutch were shims can be moved!! from frt.&rear of this unit to the center.you loosen two bolts ,remove a .015 ths.from frt.& rear & install in center ,tighten bolts , move on to other shims do same thing.should snap over frim.IF not let me know.RON
