Default Re: 62mm SRT6 Pulley Available Now

I've received a few PMs and emails in regards to shims and the clearance of the clutch. This was very important when the pulley was designed so it wouldn't have the problems other pulleys had. I've included the instructions for those that didn't see them in the other thread.

1) Install with 1 OEM 0.33mm shim only. Do not add more shims to it.

The leaf springs are stronger than OEM so the gap between the plate and the clutch must be closer in order for the magnet to have an effective suction on the plate. The pulley will not engage fully if the gap between the plate and the clutch is 0.4mm or greater.

2) Drive your car normally for 50 miles to set the gap between the plate and the magnetic clutch into the correct position. Your car is drivable before the ECU tune.

After installing the pulley with 1 OEM shim, the gap between the plate and the magnetic clutch may be more than 1mm. Let it be, it will set into the right position after 50 miles. After that, you will see that
the plate is very close to clutch(less than 0.3mm).

3) Tune the ECU. Do not tune the ECU before pulley is mounted and broken-in correctly because pulley will not fully engage.
