Dino’s Tinker Shed, S2 Ep 54, Skidoo Primary clutch service on a 2005 GTX 500ss.
In this episode, I remove, clean, inspect and re-assemble the drive clutch on a 2005 Ski Doo REV GTX 500ss. This is something most home mechanics can handle on their own with a few affordable specialized tools.
I will show you how to use a clutch puller, button re-installation tools as we check over the inside and outside of this drive clutch. Good clutch maintenance and set up is key to proper performance, long belt life and overall enjoyment of your snowmobile. Usually the clutches should be serviced before the season starts or after the season ends to ensure you get the most out of the season.

Great work. I'm about to do this when the season ends. I liked that you used brass and steelwool. Just cleaning it will prolong its life.

Thank you for the comment. yes you are so right on this, I would sooner invest a bit of time cleaning and maintaining and have little to no trouble during the riding season. Plus, at least for me, I like to know how things work and understand how to get the longest life out of them I can. Thank you again. Dino

Thanks Dino!!! Do you think grease is the right lubricant for the pivot rods on the arms? Usually in a dirty environment low tack lubricants are preferred. I’m about to do mine, I think I might use gear oil.

Tapping the clutch puller will almost always break a stuck primary loose. I wouldn’t recommend heat for this application, even worse case. Good job, hope you have a good season.

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback Dave, great points, I agree, most clutches come off with gentle tapping, with tapping being the key word. Some do not realize that the puller is attached to the crank and they get a bit too zealous with their striking causing internal damage, ( I had a buddy tell me he was hitting on a puller with a sledge hammer once! 😬). I have had to heat a clutch only once, if I remember right, it was on an old 89 570 exciter. I kept the heat localized (with a small propane torch, not even MAP gas,) to the main tapered shaft area and alternated between heat, tapping and tightening until the clutch let go. I agree its not the best solution but I believe if you have no luck with any other option, and are careful, it can be completed safely with no damage to the parts. I hope you also have a great season, I cant wait to see more of your content and the beautiful Bruce County area . Dino

When you dissemble the inside of the clutch do the specific roller arms need to go back in their specific spot? I didn't know if they were weighted. I just want to throw everything in the chemical cleaner but did know if I needed to mark each roller arm first.....like 1,2 and 3.

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the question, I don't believe they have to but I always put them in the same spot, I would use zip ties to mark them in the cleaner . Dino

I am having a hard time getting the splines to line up so the inner and outer sheaves mesh together. Any tricks?

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

These can sometimes be a pain to line up again, I think it's because they have very tight tolerances. I have had to fuss with more than one to get it to drop down, small turns and working at lining up the splines is all that has worked for me. I wish I could give you more advice but that's all I have ever done. Keep trying and I'm sure it will drop down. Dino

Dino, thanks for the great video. I have a question though. The furthest outside part of the clutch has a black rubber/plastic part with the plumes on it. With mine, the rubber part comes completely off. Could that create a problem?

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for the comment and great question. I am assuming this is a different make or model of clutch? All manufactures and models of clutch are a little different and dismantle differently, most likely it is fine as long as nothing looks broken or damaged. I hope this helps, Dino

@gregbalvanz3124 Жыл бұрын

I’m pretty sure it’s the same clutch, a TRA3. Nothing looks broken but I’ve never seen this type of couch dome apart. Also I tried the strap method to hold the clutch but it didn’t work. The bolt would move and the cylinder would go around even when the clutch itself stayed in place. The outside black part would move with the cylinder. Strange, I know. I had to use the “rope in the plug opening to get the clutch off.

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

Hmm, that does not sound right to me. the ones I have worked on the unit is essentially one piece. the black plate is fastened on with one way bolts if I remember correctly. You may have a damaged clutch, perhaps those bolts have sheared off? Dino

@gregbalvanz3124 Жыл бұрын

The one way bolts don’t actually touch the black pice but go through it. The 8 rivets closer to the center MIGHT actually attach the black piece but the surface on the other side o the rivets is very smooth and show no signs of welding. I’ll go to my dealer mechanic an let you know what he says.

Why do you not want a lubricant on the button sliding surface.

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

Some people do, but the lube attracts belt dust and dirt which can add wear to the helix. The buttons are self lubricating and do not require lube. Thanks for the question, and again I'm not an expert just a guy who tinkers. Dino

I think the socket manufactures are in league with the fastener manufactures LOL, the only thing 12 point are really an advantage for is square headed bolts.

you didnt change the bushings

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the comment, you are correct, I measured them and they were in spec, so I chose to leave them as they were. Thanks again Dino

@tommenhansen Жыл бұрын

@@DinosTinkerShed they should be changed atleast every 5000km

@DinosTinkerShed Жыл бұрын

@@tommenhansen thank you for the information. I re read the skidoo service manual just now as I always want to pass on the best information. Although replacement every 5000km is perhaps a good idea (I like to surpass service intervals myself as it's a good practice) the manual does not indicate this but rather to replace when worn. As the clutches on this particular sled seemed to be in very good condition and the bushings were within spec and not showing signs of wear on the Teflon I made the decision not to change them and save my friend some money. Again, changing them out is not a bad idea and I would certainly not tell someone not to do so, at the same time if they are in spec I think they are fine to leave. Just my thoughts. Thanks for the comments they are much appreciated. Dono

I've got a better idea.... Why don't you just purchase the correct tools supplied by BRP to begin with ? You're going through way too much complexity than most people want to even consider. This is supposed to be a fun event not a torturous endeavor.
