Hisun 500/550/700/750 wet clutch replacement

*Soak the wet clutch in oil for 1 hour* In this video we will show you the steps to take when replacing your wet clutch in the Hisun 500 or 700 machine. this procedure is also the same on the 550 and 750 model unit.

JUst the video I needed before tearing into my Front Runner 500!I spent 10 years as a professional Honda m/c mechanic (30 years ago...) but it's always good to know the tricks.Thanks!

[@jeffalden6769]

I'll be doing this shortly to my 500 and can't thank you enough for being so specific. I promise you'll be my parts supplier. Thanks again

[@bbbustedflush]

Excellent video-exactly what I needed before making the attempt to fix my Front Runner 500. My problem started when my secondary clutch wouldn’t come off even after removing everything you suggested. It lacks nearly a ½ inch to clear. So I decided what the heck I’m this far might as well loosen the inner cover and try working around it since it is flexible. Worked great right up until the part on the wet clutch jam nut wouldn’t pry up because it was hammered in to tight. When all else fails use force right?-wrong-now the jam nut is nearly striped and I quit before I start destroying things with a hammer. The video is still fantastic it’s just my jobs never go by the book.

just wanted to say thanks!! video made doing this as easy as it could be for what it is! :-)

[@69pantz]

Do you recommend changing the belt along with wet clutch? I purchased my ys700 used from a salvage yard and it was used heavily to get around for pulling parts from vehicles on yard. My dad has a bennche 500 and his clutch engages right away and mine revs higher before it grabs and i can feel it engage slower than it should. After engagement it works fine and can reach near 50mph. Also previous owner used straight 30wt oil and i probably did not help as i am using Rotella 5w40 synthetic. I will be switching to Rotella 15w40 non synthetic after clutch.

[@dapatwilk]

Great video. Any tips on replacing the main shaft on the secondary. Mine snapped while replacing the clutch. Not sure what's behind the seal. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[@thesir85]

I believe I have the issue with the rollers under the cam in the primary clutch that you mentioned. The cam plate isn't seating far enough down in the primary clutch to let it seat on the splines. Do I need to crack the primary clutch open to line everything back up?

[@kyletor6082]

Could you please tell me how much engine oil does Bennche 700 take? Thank you so much.

[@Bigcrappie1208]

Can you use Yamaha clutch for this machine? Seem like it would be better quality.

[@dgmenace73]

Do you happen to have a video of how this UTV was acting up which led to this repair? I have similar UTV that seems to be revving too high at lower speeds and takes a long time to get to full speed. Belt has been replaced and cleaned primary. It has less than 300 miles on it and less that 50hrs. Idk what kind of oil previous owner put in it and was thinking if he changed the oil he may have put regular oil and not the wet clutch safe oil in it? I would guess if regular motor oil was put in it , that it may cause some clutch issues. I wish I could describe it better but to me its just revving too high at take off and seems to "feel" like a weak coil pack on a car or truck....kinda in & out sounding and grabbing good.

[@MarkJohnson-bh4by]

I have watched your video many times and it is very helpful , I have a linhai 2019 550 t-boss and need to service or replace the clutch. My problem is getting the right parts. the parts list does not show the one way bearing or a number for it. Does it come with clutch kit? some say it is the same as the hisun or massimo but not sure- can you help me.

[@jameswilliam4662]

Awesome video!!!

[@kierantownend818]

Just done this wet clutch replacement and did as you said to put the wording facing inwards when installing in the bell housing. Checked it and spun counterclockwise by hand and not clockwise. Got the machine fired up and it'll go in reverse but needs a boot full of revs to go forward and is kicking and bucking to get into gear. Did I install the one way bearing wrong?

[@TKEmikey]

Wet Clutch and Primary changed out and didn't see any issues with the secondary. Great improvement! However my reverse is not working still, at times it grinds and feels like it wants to go. Any suggestions?

[@BoostedRide]

Adjust the shifter. Sometimes for reverse and low you need to keep pressure on the shifter (pulling back for reverse) and give a little throttle to ensure it engages.

[@TKEmikey]

@@BoostedRide did that, prior and after changing the clutch out. Shifts but grinds and will not move in reverse, have no issues with high and low. I have a video I can send you of what it's doing.

[@ramiroa4889]

@boostedride Hey, I'm following all your steps but when I removed all the 8 mm bolts and got to the clutch cover housing I pulled on the shaft and it seems to not want to come off any ideas, it seems like it's hitting something, thanks.

[@BoostedRide]

Try tapping on the shaft with a rubber mallet. Make sure you have all the bolts. It is on dowels but shouldn't be stuck

[@jasontomkins1753]

Have a question about removing the wet clutch. Are the threads reversed on the nut that holds the clutch to the crank? I'm trying to remove the clutch but am having trouble getting the nut off. Thank you.

[@ariel.black.cosplay]

How did he get the GM nut off? Does it take a special socket? I don't understand what he means about hitting the nut out of the groove.

[@rtwiles8444]

The nut has a flat kind of collar on it. The collar is beaten into a groove on the crankshaft. Take an old flat blade screw driver and slowly work it under the collar. You can tap it under with a hammer, but don't just start beating away.

[@alandowney3603]

My 500 wont move when in gear. The clutches both spin but no movement and there is a clanking noise coming from that area. Any ideas?

[@1ruralmailman]

so you dont use oil with a clutch additive like for motorcycles and atvs? is that correct?i always used valvaline 4 stroke with clutch additives in my atv,just want to make sure before i get oil for my massimo which it needs.

[@BoostedRide]

You need an atv oil with additives. JASO is the spec oil you need

[@houndjordan]

Is there a engine brake on these machines. I have a hisun sector 550 and whatever holds the engine back free wheels and then it will engage and hold back and then release and hold back again and will continue to do this when going down a hill. My machine only has 475 miles .

[@BoostedRide]

Yes. The one way bearing is bad in your machine

[@dougiequick1]

BTW does the 500 and 700 use the same clutch pieces? If so the 500 seems like it will last longer?

Yes they are the same.

How hard would it be to rewire the hisun 500 , have a bad electric issue. How many labor hours do you think it would take

[@BoostedRide]

You have an engine harness and a main harness. Hard to say a time. Lot of zip ties and some panels to remove. Engine harness maybe 2 to 3 hours first time user. Main would take a few more making it from front to back

What symptoms would lead you to replace the clutch? Have a Massimo MSU 500 that is almost impossible to change gear and thinking it might be a clutch issue. If I take off the cover and run the engine, what should I expect to see? Thanks for making such an amazing how to video!

[@kierantownend818]

@@stephencameron5291 So I ended up doing a full wet clutch rebuild but the problem I had with shifting gears was that the fan gears at the gear shifter linkage were rusted and binding together. Also the little bushing on the fan gear that moves the actual shifter on the gear box was trashed and so it was misaligning when I was trying to change gears. Swapped it all out and it shifts good as new!

[@glennjordi9651]

How realistic is it for a novice/newbee to do this repair ? My clutch has the worn down pad problem it seems . Makes a metal grinding noise when accelerating. The stick shift is very difficult to shift and the vehicle doesn’t really move anymore when accelerating. I opened up the outer clutch cover and and when I accelerate in neutral you can see metal dust coming out. Do you think this is a doable repair for someone without experience ?

[@BoostedRide]

If you follow the video it should be pretty straight forward. An impact is not necessary but will make all the difference on the large clutch nuts. Remember to soak the new clutch for an hour before install and always run an oil that is approved for wet clutches. (JASO spec)

[@glennjordi9651]

@@BoostedRide Thank you so much for replying. What kind of oil do I soak the clutch in ? And I do I just put the whole thing into oil out of the box?

[@BoostedRide]

@@glennjordi9651 most any "atv" oil on the back has the rating "jaso". You need the same oil as a 2006 yamaha rhino. Soak the entire clutch so the oil can soak into the pad material. Hope this helps

[@jakurt9458]

Will the wet clutch parts for the hisun fit a grizzly 660?

They will fit but the splines I believe on the end of the drum are different. You would have to buy the primary clutch assembly for a hisun as well

While changing the belt on my 700 the rear clutch has slide closed and I can’t get it to open back up to put the new belt on?

Did you run a bolt in the clutch to spread it open? There are threaded holes near the center to open it. Do not pry inside on the belt surfaces

[@raycollins2300]

Will a bad wet clutch cause numerous drive belts to break?

[@BoostedRide]

It should not. It will cause the primary clutch to not spin. I would check your primary clutch and secondary for debris.

[@JCGible]

I just changed my oil in a 450 Grizzly. I took it out for a 1/4 mile ride. I then realized I used auto synthetic. What should I do now? Can I just change the oil with Yamalube, or do I need to flush it.

[@BoostedRide]

Get out what you can and just change it again soon. I'd say put 10 miles then drain 1 more time.

One way bearing. Sounds like it is disengaging and engaging again. Sounds and feels like kicking in and out of gear.

[@markvender3865]

Do you recommend soaking the clutch in oil before installing? Not sure about synthetic oil not being good as synthetic oil is simply a higher quality oil. I guess it makes sense it would need a lower quality oil. Machines are picky about fluids. I will NOT use synthetic on my new clutch.

[@BoostedRide]

Yes soak the new clutch for an hour or so. If you soak it the time that you're taking it apart it should be long enough

[@jodyrailey9142]

you skipped right over torquing the primary nut. and to what ft lbs , how to keep from turning while torquing .

[@BoostedRide]

Torque specs are at the end of the video. Tusk makes a universal clutch holding tool. Most people carefully wedge a board or something against the clutch but you had to be careful to not bust anything obviously

[@davidsettle8456]

Spits and sputters when starts like flooding out. And keeps fouling plugs

[@Hi-Tech-Ray]

How can this kind of damage to the clutch be prevented, if so?

[@BoostedRide]

Biggest issue is driving in high range when you should be in low. 25mph or less (around the farm housework) roads use low. Let the motor rpm. Also people push the rated limits of load capacity. Hope this helps

[@Hi-Tech-Ray]

So I guess many people make the biggest mistake by not reading their owner's manual as this information is detailed in there. Now from what I understand and if I am correct, about these UTVs is that the same engine oil also serves as transmission fluid and we should be diligent about changing the oil at recommended intervals. Would you recommend using a synthetic oil?

[@BoostedRide]

Yes same oil used in the engine is in the transmission cavity. A lot of people around here do neglect oil changes. We run cam2 15w40 or rotella t 15 40. We do not run synthetic oils. Never seem to have much luck

[@Hi-Tech-Ray]

Now You would think that synthetic oils would work better in this scenario as they claim that it exceeds oil viscosity! So I guess the rule of thumb here with UTVs is that synthetic oils is a BIG NO-NO!

[@dougiequick1]

This answer does not make sense ...I read and reread It is ambiguous/contadictory. Problem caused by "driving in high range when you should be in low" Okay THAT seems logical! But THEN it seems to be instructing when driving "25mph or LESS....use HIGH??" You meant "25mph or MORE use LOW" ...yes??? Being reckless with words can really do a lot of harm....not to mention frustration trying to understand
