TEAM clutch of a 2011 M8?

[bowhunter11199]

Looking at a 2011 M8 with 1800 miles. Owner says he replaced the primary with a team rapid response (can’t remember why he said he replaced it). Any concerns with these team clutches on a 2011?

In a side note, owner also said when the sled is laid over on its side, the side plastic will push in enough to allow the secondary to rub on the plastic. Said that was normal. Can you guys confirm?

That’s a factory 2011 clutch.
Yes it can rub on its side.

Sorry, was looking at secondary. Can still rub.

Yep normal to rub laid on its side. I wouldn't worry about that Team primary as long as it doesn't have the roller bearing in the bottom.

Not too familiar with the roller bearing you are talking about, do you have any info/pics handy on it?

I can confirm its normal. At one point the bolt head pushed through the cover on mine.

It's a big roller bearing that sits down in the bottom valley of the clutch where the belt sits at idle. Lets the belt run tight with no deflection, but the roller will let the clutch spin inside the belt without burning it. It looks like this: https://www.countrycat.com/oem-arct...-0746-895-clutch-dr-uncal-team-hdi33mm-423460

No roller is what you want on that sled like this model: https://www.countrycat.com/arctic-c...tries-rapid-response-drive-clutch-8-inch-33mm

They look identical except right down in the valley where the belt sits. Note the larger diameter shaft on that first link.
