PREVENTATIVE P DRIVE CLUTCH MAINTENANCE | Gen 4/5 SKIDOO

[@harleyrider440]

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!

[@DanMX2112]

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!

[@mountainreadymethod5023]

Awesome video! I’m going to put a new spring in my clutch I should do the maintenance too! Thanks for the reminder!

[@DanMX2112]

Heck yes, fresh as can be for sure! I’m ready for this season!

[@mountainreadymethod5023]

@@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?

[@sooperdan]

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

[@DanMX2112]

@sooperdan thanks man, these new p drive clutch’s are awesome!

[@mountainreadymethod5023]

@@DanMX2112 I agree I’m going to experiment with a different spring in mine!

[@jromem7313]

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

[@DanMX2112]

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!

[@DanMX2112]

@JohnSmith-uy2jg I like the P Drive, they are great clutches, and this maintenance is easy to do.

[@yooper-jut]

I noticed the alignment marks were off on this clutch.

[@DanMX2112]

Good catch, but this clutch has been balanced since getting built. OEM marks are no longer relevant. Thanks for watching!

[@machine7767]

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?

[@DanMX2112]

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!

How does that grease hold up? Ski doo calls for their special thermal grease for the rollers.

[@DanMX2112]

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!

[@grutzmac]

is that maxima grease? @@DanMX2112

[@juju800r]

Could you just grease and/or replace those roller bearings witouth removing clutch?

[@DanMX2112]

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.

[@juju800r]

@@DanMX2112 Thank you 😁

[@dangriesemer3710]

How many miles on the sled (clutch) you're working on? In case I missed it.

[@DanMX2112]

1100 miles on the clutch at the time of the video.

[@mikehansen986]

What’s the downside to replacing the P-Drive for a CVTECH PB80?

[@DanMX2112]

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.

[@rogernegley8016]

Lock tight?

[@DanMX2112]

I did, but mention it later on.
