Polaris Ranger Clutch kits? I say no, here is why!!

This video is just info on why I do not think clutch kits are good for everyone who owns a Polaris Ranger

Thanks

I have a 900xp ranger with method wheels and 30s . Just need ground clearance. Only this I did was get the epi sand clutch kit for below 3000 it helped it be less jumpy when your trying to slowly move which makes it nice when I’m spraying out of it

[@couchrider6228]

I’ve got a 2008 ranger 700 clutch squeaking at idle and wants to creep. Belt is centered and in good shape. What’s causing this?

[@jboutdoors7019]

Thanks for the new video, very interesting, I have a 2020 ranger highlifter crew, on 30s, just did the EBS delete shim as I was having problems with it creeping while at idle, only time I think about clutch kits is when I’m out ripping wide open with the guys trail riding, I just feel like when it gets up goin over 35mph and I floor it it doesn’t seem like it changes much, just lifts RPMs, you can’t ever feel it “pull”.

[@Hunterworks]

Because you have a crew with 30" tires on a machine that came with 26" Also make sure you have the switch whatever they call it in Performance mode. This video does not apply to you it sounds like, ripping around. A crew ranger is for work and going slow in my opinion.

[@jboutdoors7019]

@@Hunterworks ahhh just so you know, the highlifter actually comes with 28” tires factory, and I do not have the performance switch, it is just factory in performance mode, also no turf mode, stock with rear locker, highlifter model is a huge difference than stock ranger, also high range is a lower gear than stock similar to your ranger, and I do use it for work around the property, but I also enjoy ripping it around, which to me is why ranger is available in the highlifter model..

[@Hunterworks]

@@jboutdoors7019 I kinda forgot about that change in tires for 20, my back country is geared like the highlifter and came with 26" and to be honest, my brain said Northstar not highlifter, anyway still the same reason, 2" of tire is a lot especially on a Ranger Crew. A ECU tune might help but if not ripping all the time leave the clutch alone.

[@nickmitchell7772]

@@jboutdoors7019 I bought a 21 xp1000. I live in a forest deep in the north. After watching all these mod and tweak vids I came to the conclusion to just leave it stock.

[@mrwhamisrick]

I just put a duraclutch kit in my 900XP. At first I thought $1,400 was pricey but it turned out to be the best $1,400 I ever spent. Touch the throttle and it takes off more like a car, instant movement. Lower RPMs at cruising speed and I never realized how much noise the stock clutches made until I switched.

[@Hunterworks]

They are great if you have an application for it, for sure

[@mrwhamisrick]

@@Hunterworks We use it for trail riding, some work and quite a bit of road riding.

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

I've got a stock 2015 Diesel Crew that is used on our farm. Is a clutch kit worth it? I think we could benefit from engine braking since we have steep terrain.

[@Hunterworks]

Not aware of one made for it but not in my opinion, we do the Duraclutch we sell for the Diesels

[@JesseKlaus]

I use my ranger to move the boat around, and haul a trailer loaded with logs and firewood. I've been noticing things don't feel quite right since I hauled a pretty heavy trailer load through some hills. Do you think I just need a new belt? I'm running 30s with a stage 2 dragonfire lift.

[@Hunterworks]

You didn't say what model and year but it could be just the belt or could have damaged the primary clutch. Knowing miles on it would help to

[@TonyGeneseo]

Don’t know if you check these comments on older videos. I appreciate your input. But here’s what I want or am looking for. A little lower RPM ! Lol. I have a 24 NS ultimate. And I know the cab accentuates the rpm’s but I feel like I’m gonna blow this thing up. Not working it. Trail riding and probably never gonna load the bed. Bought it for comfort and bench seat. I’ve had several side x sides. Last was an Rzr S 800. Loved that clutch and gear seat up. 4200 and Ranger is at 5000 on same incline. Any input knowing what I’m trying to achieve ? Thank you

[@Hunterworks]

There is nothing for the clutch in this vehicle that I am aware of to lower the rpm and honestly I can't see why, 5000 is very low

[@tp8030]

My highlifter (2019) is a pain to get it in gear or shifting gears. I seen where it says they have clutch issues. I gotta get it fixed. What's the best clutch?

[@Hunterworks]

What is best is a loaded question, what is best for you will be the answer, watch our troubleshooting videos to find out what it is and email me [e-mail]

[@lanefrazier8789]

I have a 2014 Polaris ranger 900 xp with 33s we mud ride and dirt road ride what u recommend

[@Hunterworks]

A gear reduction first

[@TPH9311]

I want to add a little bit of power to my 500cc. is it worth trying? also would 27 inch tires cause me any issues? thanks.

[@Hunterworks]

Take no offense to this in any manner just too small of CC to get any power out of it and adding 27 inch tires it’s just gonna make it worse

[@joecorsetti9221]

so what is the best way to get rid of the jerky start to the ranger if not a clutch kit?

[@Hunterworks]

What year and model? Tire size and miles on it?

[@kyled2209]

Why does the 21 ranger Xp 1000 only come with the primary? It’s still roughly the same price but without the secondary??

[@Hunterworks]

I assume you’re talking about the Dura Clutch it’s about $500 difference the 21 doesn’t need a different secondary at this point and duraclutch only offers the 2020 model with a secondary but you don’t need any of it the 21s have a good clutch in them you just need a Hunterworks belt

[@kyled2209]

Yep duraclutch, sorry, I was thinking this was a duraclutch video. I still have jerky starts, kind of hard to slowly load on the trailer too. Plus, I like that the duraclutch lowers RPM. I guess the biggest issue I have is driving toward my stand location (hunting), if I have it in low, RPM’S are high, and it takes forever to drive the 2+ miles to my stand. I end up in high, and I’m going about 12-15 mph, but I worry I’m going to smoke the belt. It feels fine, but don’t want to get stranded.

[@bensovince4403]

What about running snow tracks? Would a clutch kit benefit the tracked up rangers?

[@Hunterworks]

I say don't run tracks but a kit would make it worse, run it stock and get a clutch blower, lots of heat regardless the outside temp

[@patrickzerwas3434]

Duraclutch is the only cluch kit that I would put on if running tracks on my Ranger 800. I wouldn't run tracks on any other system. Unless you like replacing belts and smelling burnt rubber.

[@bigal50239]

Do y’all sell belts for 2004 ranger 500? I looked on website but couldn’t find it

[@Hunterworks]

No sir sorry we don’t

[@cjmi52]

Why no clutch kit yet for a Pro XP?

[@Hunterworks]

WE have them on the site now, look on the Turbo page

[@chrisallen3741]
