How many miles on the clutch? How many miles on the belt?
And do the weights swing easy and do the rollers roll freely?
Also, is your belt deflection good?

Take it apart and inspect and clean first...

Then add a thunder abc kit to adj primary to belt clearance. Can run a low or high rpm engagement spring and sled will engage smooth

2100 on both. went for a short ride today, just does it every now and then.

everything is good, with belt off it hangs up when the rpms drop. ordered a clutch removal tool and will remove and clean up.

The '10 & '11 AC clutches, as well as the Diamond Drive shaft bearings do not hold up well. Depending upon the maintenance, 1000 to 1500 miles problems show up. Great sleds other wise, but look at both primary & secondary clutches & the DD gear box to find worn parts & replace as necessary before damage occurs. There are superior aftermarket replacement products available to keep these great sleds running thru the snow!
I pull my clutch off using the hydraulic method.
Metric grade 8.8 bolt (grade 5 sae)
M14 x 1.5 thread
I used white teflon tape but they say the yellow (for gas?) seals better

Mountain Cat, Can you elaborate on which aftermarket parts are better than stock. I would like to do some preventative maintenance on mine and wondering what I should replace.

I installed Thunder Products 911 clutch covers on mine.

Look for cracks in the spider, bushing wear & excessive slop in rollers. Replaced a bushing before season and spider broke last sunday. 3100 miles. Should have saved time and money and just bought new then. $345 shipped. New secondary before next yr.

Send your secondary to Mel,formula x-1. He'll make it better than new with a steel hub not alum pos
