I hate to interrupt, but I don't think the subject of worn, or maladjusted SC pulley clutch has been raised.

The Big Green Toyota service manual outlines a procedure using a dial gauge to measure desirable SC clutch adjustment.

Try bending a feeler gauge and inserting it instead.

Bench test your SC with 12 volt power. Holding the rotor shaft still with a wrench, you should not be able to spin the outer portion of the SC pulley using your hand.

Try removing a shim, or shims from beneath the outer SC clutch piece, if its not grabbing hard enough. You might have to file down the perch the outer clutch piece sits on, in order to bring the two clutch surfaces close enough.

If your pulley belt is slipping, it tends to shred the rubber on the inside belt surface. Look for eroded looking rubber.
