WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW CLUTCH!! Can-Am stuck/sticking Clutch!! Problem Solved

While on a ride this past weekend I took on some water in the cvt cover, after I got the machine out and drained the cover my Outlanders clutch was acting up. I could not get it to go into gear it would just grind and die when it would go into gear.
It was also pulling itself at idle like the clutch was stuck i was able to start it while it was in gear finally and drive and it sounded terrible!
I thought for sure the clutch was toast and was gonna order one but after further inspection I found that the clutch was stuck and caked in mud and couldn't move.
After taking it apart and cleaning it the machine runs like brand new! If this video helps you out or this has happened to you let me know by
Leaving a like or comment!! thanks!!

This will help me tremendously. Great step by step. Easy to follow. I pulled the cover and found some tiny ball bearings and one of the pins for the one way clutch. After watching this video I am heading out to complete the inspection and repair. Thanks, Allan

In Australia tried the righty loosey technique you mentioned but was actually regular thread. Lucky we didn’t go too hard at it

[@bobchalk7344]

Great Video. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Working on the first side by side and doing some clutch work. This helps tremendously.

thank you great tips n how to i got a mavrick but i thinks its same setup

[@jenrizar660]

Omg brother that clutch it’s easier than the Polaris 😳.really good video btw 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mrlariata9290]

Was hoping you showed how to install the bolt on secondary clutch. My bolt on secondary clutch sheared off. Just taking it out of storage and getting it ready for the the summer I fixed it but did not have the right tool to hold the secondary clutch was gonna use a piece of wood but just had the dealer torque it for me 12 to 15 pounds than a 180ﾟ. The tool to hold the secondary corlayeah it's looking very cool lunch is a $180 over here. Maybe I should invest in it just in case. Great video thank you for sharing

[@306GokartsCustomBuilds]

Very good detail explaining 👌

[@TheKoalaBear]

Thanks for posting this video. I think I'm experiencing this. I got some muddy water in the air intake and i seized up the secondary clutch. the bike wouldn't move. After I cleaned it up the bike started creeping so when I can I'm going to take apart and clean the primary clutch. Thanks Again I hope this works for me.

Have you ever had a belt pop and when you replace it all gears are reverse? It was perfectly fine before now if you put it in high it’s reverse, low it’s reverse, and neutral and park same thing.

[@omerta1949]

It Just happened to me last night. I broke everything down today. Taking my time cleaning it . 2 things..1st I like to get a clutch upgrade 2022 450 Can Am Outlander DPS cause I will be getting bigger tires. can you send info on what you recommend? and #2 before you put on the box did you rotate secondary clutch 180* ? cause you didn't show it on video. thanks for the tips great video!!

[@danielcervantes6764]

I have a squeak noice coming out from primary clutch and gears won’t engage. Any suggestions?

[@FourtySixx]

thanks for this!

[@bradleyfoss7237]

I this same thing happen to me, I actually had to pull the bushings out and clean the dirt that was behind them, the dirt was making then push out and cause friction not allowing the clutch to operate properly

[@JPar9577]

Yeah if you ever flood the belt box that dirt gets in everywhere

[@cruise2kx]

This is a good one!

[@iridecommando1485]

Thanks for the video. Did you need a special tool to hold both pulleys while torquing them back in place?

[@JPar9577]

Yes you do need a tool to hold them still and torque them

[@iridecommando1485]

Thanks

[@petropete3122]

Tks for sharing. I have to fix a 650 that has the same issue. Tks for showing the little springs and pin bullshit set up 🤣. Tin Can waaay over rated imo. 🤙🏻

[@areenders]

What do you recommend for torquing them on and off? To keep it from spinning? I have to remove mine and clean it. I had a critter decide it was a good place to store food for winter 😢

[@JPar9577]

They make a special tool to hold them in place while you tourqe them. In a pinch I've improvised using a piece of wood but I do not recommend doing that because It can damage the clutch if not careful

[@areenders]

@@JPar9577 I’m trying to locate the tool.. I can’t hold it tight enough to get the factory nut off. Thoughts? The nut itself is 17mm... what size clutch socket do I need?

[@JPar9577]

@@areenders what are you referring to as the clutch socket?

[@SoutheastHVAC]

At about 1000 miles, my belt started slipping so I figured it was time for a new belt anyways. So I went ahead and put a maverick belt on it. 300 miles later, it’s slipping again.

[@JPar9577]

Thats strange maybe you can try resurfacing the clutch faces? That may help

[@billy7805]

Did you pull off the inner sheave i have never been able to get mine off

[@JPar9577]

No I left the inner sheave on they make a special puller to remove the inner I've never removed it myself

[@kingdon9690]

Should I let the parts sit over night or take em out of the water? I have the bearing in the water as well that you said be careful of because of the small springs which wasn't to bad they fell out in my hand. My clutch wouldn't even move at all, and so I have it all in a bin of dawn blue dish soap and cold water. I don't wanna ruin anything, and I couldn't get the other clutch off.

[@JPar9577]

You can let me sit as long as you want the main Thing is making sure everything is clean and dry when it goes back together!

[@kingdon9690]

@@JPar9577 awesome ty I appreciate it man, I'll dry everything up tomorrow and put it back together

[@kingdon9690]

@@JPar9577 one more question is the primary clutch supposed to be hard putting back together? It was hard getting the spider part out and now it's fighting to go back together like the magnets are stopping it

I have a can an renegade 1000 xxc and when its NOT started the gear shifter moves freely wen its started the shifter is stuck in park and i can only select reverse unless i turn it off and move it to another gear but then wen it starts it pulls forward or back depending on the gear im in ... any suggestions ? Do you think its worth doing what you did in this video ? Thanks with love from the uk

[@JPar9577]

Sounds like the clutch is stuck i would definitely try cleaning the clutches like i did in this video!!
