Driven clutch side play

[Caribooskibum]

I was wondering how much, if any, slop there should be in the driven clutch? Mine can move about 5mm side to side on my '01 800RMK. It seems a little excessive to me.

my 02 800 edge used to move quite a bit as well as long as the bolt was tight i didnt worry about it

Yes that's normal. The secondary clutch is supposed to float a little.

perfectly normal.

Mine does this also...no worries.

The spec in my IQ shop manual calls for the following "float" when setting the offset.

Offset Adjustment
1. Determine direction driven clutch needs to be adjusted.
2. Remove driven clutch retaining bolt, and remove driven
clutch.
3. Add or remove washers from the jackshaft between the
driven clutch and jackshaft bearing to achieve proper offset.
4. After adjusting offset, add or remove shim washers from
the retaining bolt to provide a +/- 0.030” (.75mm) of float
on the jackshaft.

This is actually a mod on Ski-doo's, they have a fixed secondary that if not perfectly set blows belts. I have run 1/2 inch of float with no problems, the belt lines everything up and finds it's happy place!
