P1000 Clutch issue?

[WagginTail]

Asking this for a guy I know. He has a 2016 Pioneer 1000-5. He had the clutch stuff fixed under the recall or whatever a while back. He says it was never right since then. His issue now is that it shifts really hard in auto. Also when the machine comes to a stop he says it's like the clutch is still engaged and the motor bogs down and shuts off. I'm thinking he should do the clutch initialization. What do y'all think?

That would be the logical first step. Might also pull and clean the shift motor.

Disclaimer, mine is so new I've never done any of this stuff. But others here have.

Sounds like someone didnt correctly preform the update or the clutch was bad then and never replaced.

He says it ran fine until they did the update. The dealer he bought it from didn't want to do the update. They told him if it was running fine then don't worry about it. He had to take it to another dealer to get that done.

That attitude pisses me off, Honda paid us to perform the update, who cares if the unit isn't acting up.

The current fuel pump update is the same way. We do everyone thay comes through the door, its free money.
