    Default Clutch

    Anyone have any clutch issues? Clutch went out on my 2012 and had it replaced 2 years ago. i have less than a thousand miles on the thing and while going up hill rolled on the gas and its slipping. It goes back in for a check. No I'm not slipping the clutch.

    Default Well....

    Are we talking about an Se or Sm..? Depending on the first change, if automatic, did they replace the springs and or use the right ones..? Did they replace both metal and fiber plates..? Are you keeping the rpm's up high so as not to slip the clutch..? If manual it is curious if it failed already. Maybe go to a Barnett clutch kit...

    Another question is what oil are you using? The SE for sure is picky on what oil is used.

    Thanks guys. It's am SM. If its going again I will opt for the Barnett clutch. I wasn't aware that they made one for CAN Am but I went and checked and they do. Again thanks . If it needs a new clutch I think I'll look for a different shop to install.

    Default Clutch Issue

    Just curious as I live in PA.
    What shop did you use for the first repair/installation?
    Which shop will you go to next?

    Had the Barnett clutch installed and it's harder to pull the clutch lever back but engages better than stock. The service manager said it's a lot more beefier than stock. So we will see.
