I know it’s an older video but I appreciate your help. New clutch kit on the way, your video convinced me to condemn my clutch. And I’ll be using an impact as well!

Dude, ummmm YOU have made the BEST video explaining in fine and clear detail! Absolutely amazing explaining and clarity! Thank you!

Great job explaining these problems. I have a Cub Cadet Volunteer that grinds like heck putting into gear. I most likely have one of the 2 problems you described. Thank you

Hands down the best clutch troubleshooting explanation that I have seen. Now I know I either have an alignment issue or a bearing issue based on what my sportsman is doing. Thanks a million!!!

Thanks for the videos! Mine was hard to shift into gear, and with the help of the vids I was able to get it all fixed up. I'll buy from you as soon as I can!

Just another great video. You have been a lifesaver. And yes, I will remember you when I need a new belt.

Awesome video and great explanation!

Thank you for making these videos your awesome!

Great video! Just recently a Buddy brought over his general 1000, gun it then try an stop.... both feet on brake pedal and keeps on truckin' then put everything you got into the brakes then she'd stop and stall. Also no top end... Knew it had to be the primary. Belt wouldn't come off because primary was stuck. Took the primary off and all the rollers and all the weights were horribly worn yet clutch was very clean and one way bearing was like new. Rebuilt it in jig-time including the one way bearing and she runs like a champ!

Probably the number 1 issue with all Polaris products is misaligned clutches from the factory. Some right off the show room floor of my dealer, some develop over time. 16+ XP Turbo Machines even though they say non adjustable clutch alignment you can use a snap ring delete kit to adjust alignment, even on 19-20 XP Turbo Machines without a snap ring holding the secondary you can still use the shims in the kit to align it.

Love the breakdown and honesty!

This is the best video on clutches

This is great information thank you for the video

Have a 2020 Ranger XP 1000 crew, bought it mostly to take grandkids out. When I 1st got 8t, spent @5-6 weeks at dealer with many calls to factory service. Issues were 1. "Walking" fwd or back with brake disengaged 2. Extremely hard to shift, would have to shut engine off 3. Loud "clunk" when shift between fwd or Rev. Dealer finally got approval to fix it. Replaced pairs in clutch & what they referred to a thrust bushing. It did great until recently, took 1 grand daughter out & noticed a strange noise for about 3 or 4 seconds while driving on hard surface dirt, @ 30/35 mph. A few weeks later, wife & I took out 2 adult friends. We took a trip through local foothills, for about 90 minutes, all was perfect, stopped for picnic, upon restart, loud sounds from rear , extremely hard to shift into low, had to "jam" shifter from park all the way to high. Finally got it into high, decided to cut our trip short, returned home. Dropped it off at dealer that afternoon was told 1st come, 1st served, which sounds reasonable. They told me the clutch may have failed, linkage needs adjustment, used primarily on hard surface dirt, occasionally on sand, low when climbing trails with hills. Have maybe 100 hours & just over 1500 miles. Mainly until recently, I traveled out of town a lot. N9w retired, I want to enjoy myself

I like the way you say "bearing"

Awesome video. My 15 rzr xp1000 is out of alignment and it’s hard to shift when running

Super helpful video! Thanks

Thanks man I really appreciate it

Great job!

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you so much well explained

Thank you sir..

This is such a great video I am currently having tgis exact problem i did take the cover off and blew it out 15 hrs ago and the creepin and hard shifting went away. not it has returned and did the same process with no improvement. I did take a picture. If i dont have a response I will email. Thanks for the video. I do have a duraclutch as well

Thank for the video, Once again you saved my ass.

Great description of the how the clutch works. Problem is my clutch on a 2002 Ranger 500 6x6 does not have a thrust bearing! It is just a shiny shat that spins with the Primary clutch. The belt is aligned properly and has the correct tension with no wear. The belt turns spinning the secondary clutch and causes grinding when trying to shift to High. I can put a board against the secondary and stop the belt and Secondary from spinning and the transmission will shift fine. I purchased a new Primary clutch and it is the same as the clutch on the machine. So, I guess my problem is internal to the transmission? If so, I still don't think the Secondary should be spinning as fast as it is. I have also turned the idle speed down to 800 RPM. Any thoughts?

Fantastic explanation mate and hello from Australia.! Our farm has a Bobcat diesel utv which is a Ranger in disguise, we have just fixed up the driveline and had to replace the primary clutch (genuine part replacement). on the initial testing in the shed everything is sweet but when i get some actual heat and load into the driveline, I experience two odd things. 1, The gears become hard to shift. It just feels like too much force is required to shift the gears. If I shut it down then it selects correctly. 2, I reckon its jerky on start and also intermittently when i stop the machine will jerk in the direction i was travelling, then settles down. It does have a new heavy duty belt, big mud tyres on the rear and I haven't done anything to the driven clutch.... Any thoughts mate? Thanks heaps!

I had them change my fluids on my ranger 1000 and find a hard shifting issue on hills, and now my machine needs about 4000rpm's to just start to move and never really engages. Is this some kind of adjustment issue they may have caused? the unit has 200 miles on it

Alignment as in steering alignment or alignment on that belt because mine actually has an alignment issue due to a wreck steering wheel is way out of whack but if you're not referring to that then I probably have the other alignment issue that you are referring to

Quick question about the video. I have a 19 can am maverick sport XMR. Got some water/mud/sand in the CVT due to a snorkel boot coming undone. Let it sit a few weeks before riding again and it seems like I am having the exact issue as in the video. My question is when using the phone to take a picture, the sxs should be in park with the primary spinning? The noises and issues happen when its forced into gear. Thanks for the video btw!!!

do you have a video of how to replace the bearing on a Polaris?

Do I have to pull the clutch off the engine to replace the one way bearing or just the outer part of the clutch? Do you sell the one way bearing for a 2009 xp 850?

2019 XP Turbo, start it up and put it in any gear H,L,R. Shows it’s in gear on dash give it alittle gas it won’t engage, but get on it alittle and it will engage. Like it has to have the RPM higher before the gears will engage. Any idea what could cause that?

gonna go look at my can-am outlander that is creeping hard. With this video, I suspect my primary is dirty and not opening up all the way.

I have a 2012 polaris 500 sportsman HO. SHOULD I BE ABLE TO SPIN THE MAIN BEARING WHILE CLUTCH IS ON MOTOR. ? I bought this atv with 611 miles on it which probly don’t mean didly! Anyway I have that hard shifting going on. So I noticed the idle was at 1400+ rpm has carb so I turned idle down to 1150 apro. But below 1200 rpm. That one way bearing there I can’t spin it in the right direction so I’m assuming it needs replacing ? I’ll entertain any thoughts of course. The belt is original so it’s 10-11 years old but with that 611 mileage when I bought from a private party. Didn’t notice any shifting situation when I bought it. This started happening around 800 miles. I got the belt off now. I have new belt coming. The sheaves are beautiful shape though I’m gonna take brake cleaner and wipe down. But if that bearing ain’t able to spin I imagine it’s toast. Ok I’m done hacking thank you ahead of time in a reply…

My issues are I’ve noticed that my clutch engagement seems to take more rpm’s. Acts like it starts to catch at the normal 1800-1900 range, but then real catches at about 2100. Also at times when I’m coming to a stop and it stalls the engine. Very hard to shift. Polaris 2019 xp1000 Northstar with about 2500 miles and original belt. Inside cover and clutch area is spotless, no dirt, belt debris, belt is smooth and not frayed. Will have to find the time to investigate further. Thanks!

My 2019 sportsman 850 has 75 hrs on it and my primary is noisy but the quad runs perfectly no issues anywhere just the noise. Do the primary’s make a bit of noise at idle?

is there a alignment tool for a 2017 Polaris Ranger 1000 xp crew for the clutches

Hey i got polaris 1000 xp rzr 2015 it's Hard to shift whe running (changing from p to r or another gear) i got new cable. What is the problme?

My brand new 2020 RS1 has difficulty going into park. Usually takes a bit of rowing back and forth to get it into park.

According to this video I need a bearing . Witch bearing do I need for a 08 Ranger 700 XP EFI 4X4. I know nothing about these clutches, but have the the hard to go into gear , squealing , and maybe trying to creep. If you can I would like to have the part number for the bearing-you said I need to replace.

My shifter cable is extremely loose alot of slack in it. Its hard to get it to go into reverse but high is fine. Lo it will pop out if gear sometimes i got a 2012 900xp. Should i change the shifter cable ?

How do you pull it if the bearing is bad and it don't won't to come off ?

Selamlar Türkiye'den yazıyorum burda usda sorunu var sorunu bulmak zor.benim sorunum polaris sportman 800 atv vitese geçmiyor vites kolu ileriye gitmiyor.stop edince vitese sorunsuz geçiyir.benim atv nin sorunu nedir.teşekkürler

Also if your primary spring had lost tension it will allow the movable face to touch the belt at idle and cause the same issue. Hard to see this with the engine not running.

I have 2019 Polaris ranger crew high lifter and I’m having problems with my shifter not going into park its currently stuck in N or L my belt did screech a little bit when you start it. What can the problem be? Also my shifter broke since it was difficult to put in to gear but I already replace it.

My fire dept has an ASAP intimidater that will not shift out of park. Any ideas?

Hey boss...I have a rattle noise during take off. It is very briefly, maybe a second or two, but it only happens in high gear, it has never happened in low. 2019 polaris ranger xp 1000

i have a bad bearing can i do something to fix it until i get my new one in ?

I’ve figured out that it is a alignment issue but I have a 2005 sportsman 700 ebs model and I can’t find a alignment tool

Hahah, I’m one of those people that just called.

Do u sell a clutch alignment tool for a 2004 sportsman 700 efi

Sir i have a problem with my sportsman twin 700 . It wont change gear when its engage . Like you cant shift it to reverse gear when it engage to H or L. . But you if the engine is off it perfectly work.. what i did if i shift the gear i need to turned the engine off. Sir what could be the problem

My 11 rzr 800s grinds while shifting into any gear once the machine is warmed up but fine when it’s cold . thinking it’s my primary clutch

What could be the cause of my rzr not going over 45 50 it’s a 2015 900s

03 sportsman 700, one way bearing went bad, dealer couldn't get spider off, broke tools. I bought new OEM clutch. Still walks and wont shift . What do I do now?

any idea why my turbo s is super hard to put into gear? the cable its bound up i checked that

Should I have side to side in my bearing??

2011 Ranger 800 hard to put in gear unless motor is off Can you point me n the right direction

Will this make it bog down as well ?

Is there a manual with all parts for Polaris 900 xp rangers with service Tec

So my four wheeler when I let off the gas it breaks really hard then release and repeats to like 3mph

Have a weird issue. Shifts fine for first time. I take it for a drive. It doesn't shift anymore. until you shut it off to restart and then I'll shift again.

Does it matter what gear your in when you check this?

Brand new primary and new belt making squeaking noise and won't shift when running But will shift when off and trys to go when in gear

Also need to check your idle rpm

How easy is the one way bearing supposed to rotate? Mine is like when you open a bottle of water, I need to use force. Not like regular bearings that is almost friction less.

Proper lub of bushing on driver Or video to buy

Well, the primary clutch make it Idle high

Too bad you didn't say what each of those scenarios causes what symptoms

I have a 2019 Textron Prowler Pro, 33 hours, won't shift while running. Hasn't shifted properly since hour two. Arctic Cat said it is somehow my fault. What a piece of shit machine, the list is too long.
