The creeping issue may not be related to the clutch system at all. Check your engine idle speed. I have been a tech at a Deere dealership sice before the introduction of the Gator. I belive the idle speed is 1650 plus or minus 50 RPMs this applies to both the single and twin Kawasaki engines As the hours accumulate on the engine, the carbs can plug up and cause the engine to run leaner, which can cause the idle to fluctuate or be higher, or the screw can move due to vibration. If the idle speed is correct, it may be time to replace the drive clutch whic are not rebuildable, it may not be releasing all the way. Has the belt been removed and not reinstalled with the angle to the wright side of the clutch? Hope this helps.
