Default xxx nt clutch adjustment?

Ok the search turned up nothing so I'll ask you guys. How do you adjust the clutch on the xxx nt sport? I seem to have misplaced all of my paperwork on this. Thanks in advance...

The only way to adjust the clutch on the truck is to modify the shoes. That would be either lightening them by drill small holes in them or by increasing the weight by drilling and then inserting wire into the holes. It is really a pain to do and is hard to gauge how effective the mod will be. Most racers, even the pros, run the stock clutch.

The clutch is also adjustable by removing a loop or 2 or 3 from the spring,, this will give more rpms before engagement,, On my MST I take 3 loops off the spring for a snappier bottom end

lighter clutch shoes mean higher rpm's for engaging, and depending on the engine this might be better.
