Hi,

I'm about to buy a 2016 M8000 but i've heard a lot of bad issues with the TEAM clutches..

Did it have any upgrade parts to fix the belt tensionner bolt?

Does the drive clutch break like the 12-15 models?

Any other comment about reliability?

Thanks a lot guys!

team clutches are just fine a big step up from the 15 and older. A few early ones had rollers fail but not many at all. I have 2300 miles on mine and it looks good.
if you put on the 18 clutch you can eliminate the deflection adjuster.
over all a very solid sled cat upgraded a lot of things from the 15 back even has a hyvo chain stock.
