P1000 Replacing clutch pack on the Beast

[Eltobgi]

Before I can fix it I've got to remove the ice build up!

& remove skid plate to change oil!

100 pounds lighter! Machine is warmed up time to dump the oil...

Looks a little dark...

But not as dark as this! Must be where the clutch debris is found!

 

[Eltobgi]

While the machine is warm time to pull the plastics...

Removed the seat back

And after an hour of cleaning dirt and ice from screw and push rivets you get a good look at it!

Just so you know you aren't posting in vain, I'm definitely watching!

Now off to pick up some filters in Devils Lake ND because filters still haven't arrived and I want to ride damn it!



Discarded plastics

Made a friend and admiring a P5 while I waited...

Yeah - good to see it all "documented".

I like that bumble bee color on the P5

They start slipping December 26th! Drove it home and parked it and didn't move it until today to get it ready to replace!

Bigger tires? How many miles? Any thing that you could pin point it to when or why it went out?

Was about to start negotiating trade in on the Foreman but the price was too high!

Highlifter lift, 72" snowplow...

Well It happened while the snow plow was attached! I will admit that I got it stuck and shifted from reverse to drive over and over again until I was able to get out! I was thinking at that time that it might harm the clutches but was determined to get out. About 5 miles down the road began plowing a neighbors crossing...it was doing fine no issues...stopped for oncoming traffic...and pressed the pedal and nothing! I didn't expect to loose a clutch pack this way! Seemed to happen all of a sudden! But still can't say it was actually from plowing!

DCT oil definitely darker

Looks like metal flakes in cover

Looks like fibers on both filters!

 

[AKRider]

I can't tell because of the lighting, but does the oil have a red tint to it?

 

[Eltobgi]

Installed new filters ready to remove clutch pack after cleaning! Going to have to hold off until tomorrow still a lot of ice and dirt everywhere! I'll clean it up tomorrow and continue!

Here are some pics of the clutch prior to soaking in oil...

It was definitely discolored maybe it was just the light or lack of good light! I've only ever used Honda Oil! You could see the color a little when I was draining it, again DCT was noticibly darker
