Modification of the secondary clutch will give you more torque....however be aware the newer secondary clutches have a weak point and when stressed will go to failure and you will need a new clutch.
Interesting, last night I ordered a stiffer high torque secondary clutch spring and premium Kevlar drive belt that I plan on installing in our 2022 quiet tech to get better low end torque. Is that going to stress out the secondary clutch or cause some other problems I wasn’t anticipating? FYI, I ordered the mid tourque green colored spring from the Power Equipment Man.

You probably won’t like Kevlar belt either. I tried gates heavy duty belt and hard to get in and even harder to get off. Plus it had big delay starting out. I could imagine what it was going to do to clutch faces?

Chances are good it will. Take a look at the front of the secondary clutch....see if you have 4 rivets or 6rivets holding it on...the 6 one is better but still weak. Remember, you are only as strong as the weakest link.

Thanks for the info. What would you recommend as a quality replacement secondary clutch with a much stronger weakest link? Also, will the high torque spring stress out anything else beyond the secondary clutch? Thanks.
