REVERSE CLUTCH BELT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

The reverse clutch belt (J, Figure 5-22) is driven by the engine drive pulley (I, Figure 5-20). When the Reverse Clutch Control knob is pulled out, it pulls the reverse idler arm and pulley (N) which tightens the belt against the engine drive pulley. This drives the transmission drive pulley (L), resulting in reverse motion.

Removing Reverse Clutch Belt

1.Stop engine, allow it to cool and dis- connect spark plug wire before working near belts. Also remove ignition key on electric start models.

2.Remove belt cover (Figure 5-13) by removing two flange locknuts.
