Fixing The Broken Arctic Cat.. | *Primary Clutch & Shifter Fix*

After getting the broken Arctic Cat off of the trailer and cleaning her up, it was time to pop open the clutch cover and see what was going on with our hard shifting issue.
As expected the inside was covered in belt dust and grime so after cleaning all of that up we took on the tak of sanding and polishing the pillars down in the primary clutch.
Using a homemade polish we managed to get the pillars shined up and put everything back together to see if we fixed our problem! After connecting the new shifter cable I could tell right away it was a night and day difference from before.
Long story short, the Cat RIPS once again!

You should have never bought a arctic cat me and my dad had one and it was a pos

[@27Zangle]

You look bored. Maybe drag race that Prius against the Cat? :-)

[@rglce25]

Definitely need to beef up basically everything on that puppy going full bore all the time

[@justincoull2166]

Looks like fun And handy on the farm as well. I would like one but here in aus they are so expensive. Got a 4x4 quad for working on the property which makes life so easier

[@NH-Jim]

Time for bigger tires!

[@g57462]

You 2 had so much fun, makes me want a wildcat,enjoyed

[@f-22raptor64]

I’m looking forward to some new bikes in the garage 🤟🏼

[@amyandreleblanc3673]

Love the videos. I wish you would have worn a helmet when you were ripping around. It's safer and shows a good example to younger viewers. Can't wait to see bike videos in the future. 👍

[@ksradventure2765]

Empty garage bro ?? Did you sell all of your dirt bikes for this machine ?

[@harrynut3044]

If you guys run out of Spooge, maybe try some Car wax.

[@relish9452]

Should’ve bought a rzr

[@stormtwincam]

nice vid, i have a 2015 trail with mods. I didnt know about the p brake issue, will have to look into it. I park it on some inclines because sometimes we have to when out riding and have had no problems. I replaced the secondary clutch spring and it was worth it. hmf performance muffler is a must! power and deep throaty sound, i love mine. i have a 3 inch lift and its great, dont let these guys rib ya too bad about the trail. me and my friend both have them and rally the shit out of them. they hold up just fine.

[@joewatkins5951]

Is your HMF exhaust a slip on only or are there modifications, and how much louder than stock,I have neighbor issues!!

[@stormtwincam]

@@joewatkins5951 idle is a little louder, not any more obtrusive than stock i would say, just very throaty! when you pin it it does get noisy! stands my hair on end when i do open it up! it is a slip on, just bend one of the tabs (mounts) a little so everything lines up- its easy. i bought the performance model and i wouldn't change it for anything!

[@joewatkins5951]

BEAUTIFUL cAT ! COOL VID

[@BarnStangz]

Dude the Cat is loving life!!! You could make one hell of a cool trail course I think, I might need to bring the RMAX down!!! Hope you have a good Thanksgiving you two!

[@oneofthosepierceboys5776]

Nice job fixing the Artic Beast! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@connorhenley3782]

Hey there sir. Having very similar issues with my car! It’s a wildcatX limited. Got it for free. 20 hours on it so practically new. She doesn’t want to shift between gears even when cold/while running. It’ll move, but rpms rev up high then engage very rough. Makes a clanking sound when moving as well. Clutch cover was black inside and did not look pretty. I believe the previous owner beat the hell out of her right out of the box with no break in. I’m going to take these same steps you did and hope this will get her moving again. I saw that shift cable on Amazon. Do you think it’ll work with the wildcat X limited? Appreciate the response! New to SXS. This is the best video I’ve seen so far related to my issue. Thanks!!

[@garrettstrutz7421]

Hey the 60 inch wide will seriously go anywhere your 54 wide will with better ground clearance and stability. The 60 inch sport is way better than your 54 trail seriously way funer that extra 6 inches won’t keep you from going anywhere it will just get you there faster corners and you go over trees better. You really need to buy the stuff to make it like the sport

[@ichibangrom9735]

Nice!!! Gotta love SxS. So much fun. Ive got to replace front axle on my Rhino this morning. Going to Dogtown to ride and have a few beers and shoot some guns!!! It was good to see Alexis in the video. Have a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family

[@1991enduro]

Automatics are poo here in Britain if some one pulls up in a auto were like ahhh no but im bot dissing a dsg box btw i like them but ye id rather a clutch and a gearbox

[@whiterabbit2786]

For memes, you should have added Alum to the polishing compound.

[@harrynut3044]

Tanner, you need a Nitros Oxide kit for that beast :) ....lil extra 100 hp never hurt.

[@ryeeakins5578]

Those things don't look too bad to work on, people who don't like em probably aren't the most mechanically inclined I take it, and nice b roll!

[@steveshot81]

this machine is really cool and it looks like it's a blast to drive.It may even be more fun than a dirt bike.I know people will curse at me for saying it.

[@chriskocienski3601]

If you get the bandit springs for your shocks you can set the preload and get about 10 to 12 depending on tire size and still have an amazing ride

[@Spartan375X]

I was kind of expecting the selfie stick to fall out of your hand.

[@1400porkchop]

What grit sandpaper did you use ? Thanks for the video , having the same problem and the dealer doesn’t know how to fix . They warrantied the first clutch . Still doing it with the new one .

[@thomastucker5686]

I have the same problem with a 2019 textron prowler pro. Won't shift without turning it off. A safety hazard in my opinion. Arctic Cat is the worst company to deal with unfortunately. I have had the machine for over 4 years and it is barely usable, unless you don't need to turn around. Dealer had it for 2 or 3 months, I get it back and the problem is the same. Did you try this fix?

[@moto_tech_braap_itout9852]

With side by sides you have to keep eyes on the temperature it gets on under there with the belt and clutch

[@TheHoovercm]

Glad you got it fixed; also digging the UGA colors on The Cat! 😄

[@moto_tech_braap_itout9852]

Seen mikesabo put 1 in his maverick sxs

[@savedbygrace2001]

Great video! I was wondering where you bought your Cat? I can't find and dealers Near S. Carolina. Thanks

[@daddy_dago]

I've got one for sale If you want to save some money skipping the dealer. 2017 wildcat sport xt with 5 grand in extras. Only 500 miles. Asking 10,000.

[@MrSirjud01]

Nice mang! Only thing that has me concerned with this is that belt. Is it sealed water tight? Ive seen many a Polaris stuck on the side of the trail with a wet slipping belt. Reason I much prefer chain or shaft drive, but thats non existing on an SxS that I know of (I use Polaris as my example bcuz Ive never seen a Cat out on the trails, but many a Polaris) also, contact me when you are ready to sell that thing!!!

[@stormtwincam]

i have a trial also and its completely water tight! 3 years and no issues.

[@livethecrazylife5779]

Must be hard to wear helmets eh

[@gageroman9346]

Great video enjoyed it alot

[@moto_tech_braap_itout9852]

They might have a kit you can install into your dash so you can keep track of the temp

[@bradcox4864]

They do ! Razorback makes a good one

[@jessarellanes6648]

I want more

[@deadeye4164]

The tires on my 4weler are biger

[@1991enduro]

And why is it belt drive why not chain where r they made in America it looks terrible and cheaply made like its Chinese lol belts i cant stop laughing u want chains mate

[@shiftgear190]

Are you drunk?

[@reallyoldfart6540]

Fixes it, like a pro, and then tests it by turning it into a tractor pulling trees. All you need now is some snow, because some of us never get any and want to see snow, and it would be nice to find out if your screwy knee tingles when the barometer falls.

[@daddy_dago]

That license plate you have on there, what all does that allow you to do?
