Rattle from clutch side

blackhillsrmk · Jan 31, 2010

I have been dealing with this issue now for two seasons, so it must not be "major" but it really sounds like crap!! I have a loud "rattle" coming from the clutch side. I have had both the primary and secondary into the shop and nothing wrong with either one. The noise only is present when engaging or at slow speeds. Idle...nothing...wide open...nothing, but when engaging or slow speeds there is a heck of a "tinny rattle" that I haven't been able to remedy. Anybody else have this issue. I am questioning the amount of play I have in the secondary, cuz it seems a little sloppy, but I can't seem to isolate it to the secondary. Any help would be appreciated.

Loose or rough jackshaft bearing maybe?

I get a slight clunk on engagement, nothing serious as the clutching was done professionally and checked twice since. Very very slight rattling, not loud enough to scare me into investigating yet! everything seems solid!

Check your weights. On mine, I just noticed some jingling, and it was only when the clutch is just about to engage. Just a thought. Also, check the posts that hold the weights in. Maybe you need new bushings for them.:face-icon-small-con

Me too

My '06 700 does the same thing. My mechanic says thats just the way some of the primary clutches are. He said if I put in a new primary it would probably do the same thing in a couple hundred miles. Ear plugs make the buzz go away entirely.

The speed of the "clanking" leads me to believe that you are correct...that it might be something in the primary, but I would have thought after having both clutches looked at that they would have found something. Maybe I just need to take the whole sled into the shop and tell them to FIX IT...but like I said I thought them going though it already would have eliminated that posibility...IDK...runs fine just sounds like sh**.

Quick Fix

Put a burned out CPI stinger on it, it will be so loud you won't be able to hear the Clutch noise.

Rattle

Check the sheet metal cover over the radiator hose mine was making a similar noise because the rivits worked thier way just loose enough to make it rattle.

X2. I was chasing a rattle for a while in the clutch area, then one ride it stopped. However, I found that hose guard laying under the clutches later that ride. It finally broke off. I fabbed and installed a new one. I can see a blown belt taking out the coolant hose very quickly without that guard in place.

Rattle

Check motor mount bolt for tightness,washer could be rattling, I had a slight noise and found it to late,threads are stripped and I have to pull the motor to fix.

spring

It is usually your primary spring vibrating against the nut that holds the spider down on the primary just before engagement.
