An alignment tool is the only good way to tell. what are your symtoms ?what did you change in the clutching ?

Check your belt deflection too. If it is to tight the sled will try to move forward at idle.

Clutch was grabbing at idle trying to stop the motor. It's a brand new clutch and i haven't checked the belt clearance yet. I think that should be around .010 to .015 gap?

I'd say its probably to little belt deflection. I have never seen a stock clutch that far off to cause creeping . I would start there but I would also do what you can with the alignment which isnt much. All the procedures/ and tech data youll need is in the "how to links" But I do beleive .010"-.015" is about right

If it is new clutch and it was not set for the 1115 belt you will definitely need to have it shimmed.
