Torque value for starter clutch (tightening)

Yack · Apr 13, 2017

Hi,

I rebuild an FE400E 2002, and I have a question about the value for tightening the nut and the smaller gear.

I unmounted the clutch without TQ wrench, and before read somes post of this forum. :cry:

Can you give me a approximative value, I will do somes adjustement to have the correct value. (between 25/30LB)

PS : I have already buy the Taffmeister's starter repair kit, also after have unmount the clutch !

Thanks.

Hi Yack,

if you look in the Wiki at the top of the page under "engines modifications" details should be under torque limiter or sprague.

The first time, when I dismounted my starter clutch, I didn't take the tightening value, I didn't know.

Now, I try to remount the starter clutch and I don't know at which value to tightening the nut.

I couldn't find it on my manual but I would go for around 15nm with some thread lock.

Then check to see at what torque the clutch is slipping, this needs to be 20-25nm. If it slips earlier it can be shimmed, as described in the Wiki.
