Daniel, great job with the video, it was clear and your description was detailed enough that a rookie like me feels confident to perform the task! The links are also greatly appreciated!
Nice vidieo on clutch maint.bro ive seen some fellas polish up there sheaves with scotchbrite while clutches are installed.yes but be carefull with fingers being in there could really bite you if things go wrong.i relieze this was. Posted awhile back and you mentioned Cameron selling those buff wheels.and you may already know this he lost his battle with leukemia and we lost a true champion to dreaded disease this yr.his work on bikes and builds was top notch and was a very likeable gent!!!WE MISS YOU CAMERON......2024
Yes I knew about his passing and posted on it. I only talked with him through messages but he was a cool dude. Huge inspiration and unfortunately we no longer get his presence on earth. Thanks for the comment man and thanks for watching!
@@DanMX2112 nice!!! I’m mostly ready… my new sled is probably ready to go. It’s my old sleds that I’ve been goofing with. I can’t stop thinking about… how do you feel about old sleds?
Schaeffers citrol cleaner works great for cleaning the entire clutch. I'm surprised those bearings go bad so fast. Do SLP weights work well in these skidoos?
I would contact SLP on that, as this year is my first on the P Drive and I’m running SHR clutching on mine. Thanks for the recommendation on the Citrol, I’m gonna give it a shot!
The P drive clutch is actually more reliable and this is preventative maintenance that we must do. You’ll be happy with the Doo, it won’t let you down man!
It’s great grease, and it will do fine on that clutch. The SkiDoo isoflex is dang good too, but I’ve ran this grease in needle bearing applications for years and it holds up great to heat and pressure! I felt no need to go spend extra, and this grease won’t harden up like I’ve seen the isoflex do overtime. Time will tell, but so far so good, it’s performing great!

Thanks man, you are awesome. I’m glad it helped you and the links get you exactly what you need. Take care and ride safe this year!

Awesome video! I’m going to put a new spring in my clutch I should do the maintenance too! Thanks for the reminder!
Heck yes, fresh as can be for sure! I’m ready for this season!

Great video, I’m new to these new skidoos , I used to take the old TRA’s apart I have to get the tools to work on these
@sooperdan thanks man, these new p drive clutch’s are awesome!
@@DanMX2112 I agree I’m going to experiment with a different spring in mine!

I bought a doo this year. What did I get myself into lol?. Polrais is so much easier and never have clutch issues

@JohnSmith-uy2jg I like the P Drive, they are great clutches, and this maintenance is easy to do.
Can you tell if your secondary rollers are ok without taking it apart?
If they are not ok, your clutch won’t back shift. When they fail, they fail. No way to tell.
@DanMX2112 thank you. What do you mean by backshift?
@stevemathews349 the secondary clutch will open but not return, meaning you will always be in high gear.
@DanMX2112 Thank you. When greasing the roller bearings on the primary, is white lithium grease ok?
@stevemathews349 I would use something that won’t melt off with heat. White lithium gets really really soupy when hot. So wouldn’t usento
How does that grease hold up? Ski doo calls for their special thermal grease for the rollers.
It’s great grease, and it will do fine on that clutch. The SkiDoo isoflex is dang good too, but I’ve ran this grease in needle bearing applications for years and it holds up great to heat and pressure!

is that maxima grease?
@@DanMX2112
Could you just grease and/or replace those roller bearings witouth removing clutch?
For sure, and I mention that in the video. I actually won’t remove the clutch next time I do this. It was easier for video and the process.
@@DanMX2112 Thank you 😁
How many miles on the sled (clutch) you're working on? In case I missed it.
1100 miles on the clutch at the time of the video.
I noticed the alignment marks were off on this clutch.
Good catch, but this clutch has been balanced since getting built. OEM marks are no longer relevant. Thanks for watching!
Lock tight?
I did, but mention it later on.
What’s the downside to replacing the P-Drive for a CVTECH PB80?
No idea, asking the wrong guy here. Why would you replace the P-Drive? It’s arguably the best clutch ever made for a sled.
