Clutching issue

[Stonepatterson]

I put a jbs clutch in and all new parts and the slug kit on and now when I go to put it in gear it jerks forward and stalls right out and the belt is spinning at idle I'm not sure what's going on with it just looking for a solution it won't let me upload a video but can send it through email or text for some one who can help

one way is in backwards

It is very likely that you have reinstalled the one-way clutch ("Bearing") in backwards. It is a sprag clutch that transmits torque on one direction and not in the other. It is there to hold the wet clutch engaged when engine braking from a higher speed. It mounts onto the clutch carrier which you installed the slug kit into. It will be found underneath the drum/shaft that drives the primary sheave. As you take that drum/shaft off, you should see the words "OUT SIDE" and a green dot showing. If it happens to be an aftermarket copy, you might not have those markings on either side of the one way. In that case look for the grooves on the sprags, which should all be pointed in the same direction and the "bearing" oriented as shown in the picture inset below:

I put a brand new one way in it and put the one way and when I did that it said this way out and I put it in facing me when o have the clutch basket out so the green dot would be facing the engine then

[Stonepatterson]

So when it's all together the green dot should be facing the engine not the sheave?

No. It faces toward the outside of the engine (toward the sheave). If you put it into the drum with the words "OUT SIDE" facing you, it is in backwards. If you put it onto the clutch carrier with the words "OUT SIDE" facing you, then it is installed correctly. A very common mistake.

Below; Red is wrong, Green is correct:

Ok I have it in backwards then for sure if that's the case it was a brand new bearing since I installed it backwards should I get a another new one or will that one still be good

It is likely to be just fine. Just turn it over. It will just cost you a new gasket for the cover at most.
