Don't forget to mark your primary clutch cover to the tower with a Sharpie. That way it goes together the same way because they are balanced from the factory.
First you disassemble all your clutches, then you send the wife to town for beer. Once she leaves, you put everything in the dishwasher and give it a wash. Once it is done, simply empty and blow everything off with air. Then load dishwasher with dirty dishes, when wife gets home with beer explain that you loaded the dishwasher but couldn't figure out how much soap to use. Go have a cold one while she starts the dishwasher.
omg thank you for this i bought a old cat for me years ago and it has never ran right nothing but bog runs min in the air but nothing on ground looks like im rebuilding clutches and will keep in mind for new sled .
Nice vid! I hate to admit I never touch my clutches ever. Never had a failure. 03 f7 6500 miles, 08 f1000 8500 miles, 12 1100 turbo 10000 miles, I’ve never even blew em out!!
I know you said this a year ago but did you ever have performance issues? I got 5500ish miles on my sled and I've got huge performance issues did jetting track and chain case and I know the clutch is wore out because I can see with my own eyes between the spider and the button, but I don't know if the secondary is bad, but thats a lot of miles with no clutching.
Another Awesome Video That Reminds me! I better get Cleaning!! Dang It!! So I thought I broke a Drive chain riding hard last weekend. But it looks like it's just a Bearing on the Top Gear Shaft. If I can get the Gear off... its clicking.. guess I'll have to pull the Secondary off other side.
I just bought a 2008 F1000 snopro, dont have a maintenance manual, I'm wondering if there's a video out there on changing chain oil and checking chain.
@@DIGIT9 Where/how are the clutches marked? I pulled mine apart and did not mark them. I am worried I put them back together and it won't be balanced. Thank you.
DIGIT9 It’s my first winter riding the big boy sleds My clutch seems to be working properly , it engages and shifts all that but makes a slight clunking sound The sound happens at slow speed , when I engage the throttle , sometimes it doesn’t make any sound and sometimes it does a light “clunk” then engages . Same thing if I’m going fast and slow down, then stay off the throttle then when I re-engage the throttle it clunks , It’s a 2009 Polaris dragon with 1500miles
That bearing in the primary is great until it seized on me. Same thing happened to my team clutches in my wildcat. Too cold to change now without heated garage. Just run belt a little loose and no extended idle times.
I just throw my bibs and coat on and light up my little propane heater,,, does it heat the garage? No, keeps me warm though. If your busy working you don't get cold. I'm tired of everyone complaining about the cold best way I can put it is get busy living or get busy dieing, welcome to the North. Heck I usually keep a pop in the snow to stay cool and enjoy!
if you clean your clutches monthly lube is the way to go Polaris use to sell clutch and cable lube but it's been discontinued ( probably to sell more clutches ) 10 -12 drops per cleaning is all you need on my second bottle in 40 yrs
Did you ever make the video of putting the clutches back together? I waiting for that one before I attempt the cleaning so I don't end up with a box of clutch parts....
@@DIGIT9 Thank you. I agree with everyone to file a small mark on both sheaves to be sure they go back the same way. Does it matter with the weights? 2019 Pantera 7000 LTD that I tour all over northern On, Quebec and heading for New Brunswick this winter. Have about 6000 miles (not km) on her. Always blow the clutches with compressed air when I return but have never taken them apart. Always worked perfect. Never blown a belt on this Yamacat. I guess over my 60 years of sledding I have put more than 50,000 miles and have never blown a clutch and have ridden them all. However, they all break at some point. I enjoy your videos. Well done.
Man that must suck to make adjustments out on the ice. I’ll stick to my old 3 post cat secondary’s. I could swap springs in like ten mins and be back makin passes. That must take a bit longer.
I dry lube my clutch assemblies so they have something to minimize the wear. I've never heard of removing the springs. Interesting thought... I could see it if they were in compressed position all the time, but I see them like the valve springs in your truck engine, and you'll never remove them for storage, and some of them will stay compressed for a long time. They're made of a material that's designed to be stressed. I suppose that's why I've never seen them removed for storage...
@@tbowers581 with good quality, sure. Heat does damage as well as quicker repetition, eg, higher rpm... I don't think it is a practice I will engage in.
@@DIGIT9 well I'd literally PayPal you for doing a demonstration on how to pull primary and secondary or 2005 arctic cat firecat f7 efi diamond drive. More so how to repair or what to look for in these clutches. I ask because, my F7 won't go past 66mph. Everyone is saying it's my secondary. The closest snowmobile mechanic is 6hrs from me 😒 sucks. Or if you have an email, cell, or if I get the clutches off. Could I send them to you for servicing? As you can probably tell. I NEED HELP 😉
Good vid! Question about cleaning. I have been reading a lot of opinion on using brake cleaner to clean clutch faces/sheaves. Many are saying it’s a no-no as it leaves residue in the metal that comes out once the clutch heats up, and then causes belt slippage and breakdown of the belt material. Some people say alcohol and acetone, no brake cleaner, others use brake cleaner and say no acetone. So many thoughts and opinions on the matter!?
Cleaning with brakecleaner is fine but do a final wipe of the shieves with Laquer thinner ! Clean/dry and no residue ! Been doing it that way for 30 yrs
Started pulling clutches off my 2010 Rush Pro R for the first time today. I noticed the secondary had a little slide side to side about 1/8th inch on the shaft. Is that normal? almost like it is missing a washer. No wobble on the shaft.
Hi Digit9, what are your thoughts on the CVTECH PB80 clutch for a 2015 XF 8000 ? Any experience with this primary clutch? Reliability, performance, ease of maintenance or in the field weight changes, etc. is what I would like to know. Thank you in advance.
Dont really need to set deflection on these sleds ! The new team clutchs have kind of an auto tightener like a chain case on their belts ! Theres a roller bearing in primary that spins at idle , so they are able to keep belt super tight ! No need for adjustment !
Absolutely ! Theres tension on face cover , slowly unscrew the bolts each , a little at a time , so make sure it comes off evenly , so not to strip or break a bolt ! DO NOT USE A IMPACT ! Hold face plate with hand or a c-clamp !

Take the outside cover off , releases the tension on spring , can be done on the sled or best is to take it off ! NEVER use Emery cloth , too abrasive , use the red scotchbrite pads or very fine steel wool to clean surfaces !
@@DIGIT9 that’s what I did before cleaning. Marked with a paint maker. Then gave the sheave surfaces a good clean. Purchased the sled used with just over 1k for miles. Secondary just seemed off to begin with. Not super familiar with the boss secondary’s. Threw me off when I pulled the bolt and only one sheave came off lol.
Thats a TEAM Secondary , bit different animal ! They can only go back together one way but still good to mark the sheaves with a centre punch or something !
Yeah, there were 3 nuts on top that I slowly took apart with small turns and it came apart pretty easily. Although after cleaning and going to put it back on, some metal bar cam out of the clutch. I’m assuming it goes into the groove of the inside of the clutch to be the male end for the shaft so it doesn’t freely spin on the shaft. I put it back in and got it back on the shaft. It grabs and wants to turn the track so I assume this is good to go. Or no?
I removed the primary from my rev went to pick it up and the part closer to motor came part from the outside of clutch. Is there a certain way to put it back together?
Should the secundary shieves be mounted in a special way like the primary with the 2 x under and Over eachother? I just Think if they are balanced together?
It only makes sense right !! But the only ones that have timing marks , as far as I know , are the newer Team Secondary’s and the Paragon Secondary’s , most of the older stuff didnt have any ! Guess they thought they couldnt spin them fast enough ??
No need tare it all apart unless weights are sticking or spring binding, all you need to do is take sand paper and scrub all surface that the belt rubs on after you scrub it with sand paper take asatone on a cloth and wipe it down. Never use scotch bright as he did little fiber fall off and ruin the clutch bushings
Well , if it needs to come off , then you will have to zip cut it off , but if you just want to clean it , then take it apart on the sled , clean parts and put back together !
I do my mod sleds after every trip , and my stock sled about 4-5 times per season ! But if you blow your clutch’s out with compressed air after every trip or once a week , it will prolong the cleaning procedure !!
A good rule of thumb is if it doesn't burn when you get it on your hands/fingers when your skin has cracks or any cuts on them the cleaner is no good. Lol.

I would actually etch or stamp it, because the sharpie will come right off from the Brakleen and handling.
I really appreciate your channel and the no nonsense approach to your tutorials.
Take care of your equipment…it’ll take care of you.
It’s nice to see someone putting in the work to learn how to work on their own equipment.
I like the idea of letting the springs relax.

Use a firm paint brush for scrubbing. Gets in tight areas way easier than a toothbrush.
You should have marked the clutch cover and the spider. For balance ,when you put it back together

Close but the Team on the Cat has a different spring/Helix system and the Cat primary and Polaris primary are similar too

Throw a bearing in your clutch compressor tool instead of a washer. . Spin off way easier.
My clutch wont engage been sitting for 2 yrs, do I just maybe need to clean it? Kinda new to sleds
Mitchell Butram its just stuck , but a good cleaning wouldnt hurt
@@DIGIT9 How do you get it unstuck? I was going to take it apart and clean it figuring the teardown would free it up
Take the outside cover off , releases the tension on spring , can be done on the sled or best is to take it off ! NEVER use Emery cloth , too abrasive , use the red scotchbrite pads or very fine steel wool to clean surfaces !
Can I use simple green and water to wash the clutch, then blow everything out with air?
Simple green is not strong enough , but give it a try !
Do you have the dimensions for the tool that you use on the clutch? Rod size, length and the u-bolt section?
I have two bearcats, 2007/13. Just turned 5k on the 2007 and 16k on the 13.
You don't have to remove the clutch from the sled to do this
When it comes to the secondary. Do the sheaves need tk be put back on a certain way?
The secondary sheaves have timing marks as well , most do anyway , but wouldnt hurt to mark them and put them back the way they were !

Thats a TEAM Secondary , bit different animal ! They can only go back together one way but still good to mark the sheaves with a centre punch or something !
How much for the homemade tool
Think it cost me $15 bucks

doesn't hurt, gets some bely dust out of there , then I blow it out with air ! 6000 km no issues with clutchs

No need tare it all apart unless weights are sticking or spring binding, all you need to do is take sand paper and scrub all surface that the belt rubs on after you scrub it with sand paper take asatone on a cloth and wipe it down.
