Skidoo p-drive clutch roller maintenance

The Skidoo P-drive clutch was introduced on the 2017 snowmobile models and has been a pretty durable clutch. The flyweight rollers one place we have seen some wear and tear issues and need periodic inspection and service. In this issue we open up the P-drive clutch and inspect, service and change out the flyweight rollers.

I used to own a 1997 FIII 600 and did all my own service. I found this video very interesting and comprehensive. Great job!

Great video as always, I certainly couldn't do better or close to. Just FYI for anyone who wants to just re-grease or replace dry/worn rollers you can do on the sled with no special tools in maybe 20 min. If have the tools great, then can clean the whole unit up but that's a hour for me anyways (+-20min of cursing at either the clutch refusing to come off the crank and/or the sheaves failing to separate once again!). I seem to be re-greasing every 1000-1500 miles or hard use. If you can buy a greaser unit, seem to get longer between services. Oh and make sure to brake clean those other vespel rollers and shaft if have apart as they like to stick and should be just barely loose and spin. Might have to rock the clutch a little but they should all not be under pressure.

Thx for postin that great n helpful video. Been thinkin about havin a go at mine ('20 bc xrs w/ 2500miles) will be my first time. Do the weights require any maintenance? Disassemble & clean pivot maybe?? Also maybe it would be nice to make another video for the secondary pulley. Anyways thx again!

@mountainsleddergarage8627 Жыл бұрын

The weights don’t require maintenance as long as the rollers are in good shape. A broken or worn roller can damage the weight . I do have a video on the secondary clutch roller replacement. Check the video called… QRS roller replacement (revised)

What clutch tool kit did you use in the video? C&T power sports seemed to have a different one. Can you add a link for the tools used?

Pretty sure I got it from western Powersports. SPI tool, can get on amazon or eBay www.ebay.com/itm/312402066830?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1MW6qJd7eQqWYY83G17y64A29&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=312402066830&targetid=1644837434363&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1026984&poi=&campaignid=20125739985&mkgroupid=149128855676&rlsatarget=aud-1412318123216:pla-1644837434363&abcId=9312975&merchantid=433605247&gclid=Cj0KCQiAj_CrBhD-ARIsAIiMxT-QlRr3hwl5S34oloRoaS8gRyxKDWozD6sBiLfkPEGbyR4k4nj-CfwaAtNREALw_wcB

What do you use for cleaning it once apart? Just soap and water? Rim cleaner?

@mountainsleddergarage8627 Жыл бұрын

You want use something that will leave no residue or oils. Some people blow it out real good with compressed air. Brake cleaner is pretty good because it doesn’t leave any residue (you want very clean, dry brakes) and dries fast. You have to use a lot so it runs off and takes all the belt dust/debris/dirt with it.

What primary clutch tools do you use? Are they all relatively the same?

@mountainsleddergarage8627 Жыл бұрын

There’s a lot of shops selling tools for the P-drive clutch. C&T is probably one of the more popular ones. c-tpowersports.com/2013website/gen4_850products.html

Is there any information on the back torque rollers?

@mountainsleddergarage8627 Жыл бұрын

Don’t see near as many problems with the back torque rollers, at least on the mountain sleds. Probably because we don’t put on very many miles per year as flat land sleds.

What happens when those rollers ceases up?

@mountainsleddergarage8627 Жыл бұрын

When the bearings in the roller run dry and seize up, creates a lot of heat, wears out the ramp (weight) and sled shifts very poorly.
