    Question 2015 F3 clutch vacuum assist

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have a copy of the Can Am memo that has instructions for installing a vacuum assist on the F3? If I could get a copy, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    Go toward the end for instructions on this installation.

    Another option is - ask your dealer to replace your clutch with the one from RT. My dealer said it's a $200 job that makes the F3's clutch a lot lighter.

    That's interesting, I loved the clutch on the RT. My F3T is a bit harder to pull

    Even with the vacuum assist (under warranty thanks to my dealer sending memo's) on my 2015 its still only about 70% as Easy as my 2012 RT was -and that (As you indicate) was a Joy to shift.

    I would pay to get that clutch improvement on the F3 instead of vacuum assist??
    Anyone know any more about this?

    Wow,
    The RT clutch option is very interesting. I had never hear of that. As to the parts listing for the vacuum assist, I had that. I am looking for installation instructions. Anyone have more information on the RT clutch?

    Lightbulb RT clutch on F3

    You can contact my dealer (absolutely amazing folks) about the F3 clutch replacement: https://smithmarineusa.com

    I'm not affiliated with them in any way other than I bought my ryde there and I was impressed by their service and prices. It's one of the oldest BRP dealers in the country, and they are a family business that actually care about their customers.
    When I mentioned to them how hard the clutch pull is on F3, they said that for about $200 they can replace it with the one from RT to make it feather-light. I don't know the exact procedure, but you can call them for more details.
