Answer
Hello Ray:

Go to this Site Addy, http://www.jackssmallengines.net/parts.asp and Select Shop Online Parts Look Up. Then Select the Model Tab and Enter the OEM (Troy Bilt)and the Model Numbers (8526). Now Double Click on your Model in the Results Area. Select the 2nd Clutch Assembly File. I Used the 2003 Model File for Reference. Check the Friction Wheel Assembly and the Friction Disc Wheel. When the Drive is Released, these Should Not be Touching. Check the Spring and Make Sure the Cable is Adjusted Properly. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
