Torque converter erratic.

[Spoildface]

Hey everyone I recently bought a knockoff comet TAV. After riding it the first time I noticed the driver clutch is very loose. It moves in and out relitive to the crankcase. When I installed it it never slid. What happened? Its not spinning free or anything but i belive the sliding is causing the erratic engagment.

Key sheared?

Crank shaft bolt missing or loose?

 

[Spoildface]

Its not the bolt, and it doesn't rotate free, but I have a feeling that something is missing. You know the little extension peice? I think that may have broken.

Is the driver clutch supposed to slide though?

 

[Spoildface]

Its like brand new though which is weird. Its s custom build too, and my chain is pretty tight, could that be a cause for failure?

Found this so something is wrong.

Pictures or a video would be a help.

The only thing that keeps the driver on the crank is the crankshaft bolt. There's only three things that can happen to create the problem you're saying.

1. The bolt isn't tight. This means that the driver could float beyond the bolt.

2. The bolt is too long and can't snug the driver up. The threads of the bolt are shouldering before tightening up the driver to the crank.

3. It's not bolted. That's pretty self-explanatory.

But, like everyone is saying, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Nope I found it. The brass bushing somehow got shoved into the flat pully on the crank close to the block

Or it sheared off more than half of it in 10 mins...

How much time are you allowed to be on a computer or your phone while you're at school?

Why is this in the build off???

 

[Spoildface]

I think its the bronze bushing. It looks alot smaller then I remember. I think it slid under something.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area I couldn't find how to post in a catagory. I was off school a long time ago, and im on my phone in between periods and on my bus ride to tech school.
