I seem to have posted this in the wrong section,,,,,, now posted in the correct area I believe



I just installed a new AM138487 primary clutch on my 2000 6x4 diesel gator,, it seems to work well, gator shifts easy now. The old clutch was sticking, turns out the plastic parts had broken off on one arm of the spider.

Anyway the new clutch rattles like crazy at idle but stops when you rev the motor enough to put any tension on the belt, I do not remember the factory clutch rattling at all,,, how worried should I be about this? The rattle is rather loud,

The clutch is properly installed and snug on the shaft, belt is properly aligned and in good condition.

It also seems that the gator is not pulling a hill as well as it used to. I only drove it to the bottom of my driveway and back as a test but it is a long and steep driveway.
