I double agree on the reverse gearing... if you are trying to back up a hill or out of the mud... don't play with it... get in it and HAMMER DOWN!llol I've monitored this clutch issue from the start, and my opinion is that most folks burn the clutch up in reverse.

when you hammer down, it will either spin the tires or it will kill the engine... if it kills the engine, then you need a winch!

not really we're all here to learn and pass on information and you learned me something earlier and that's what it's all about.

I appreciate your help!

My 1000-5 has been in the shop for three days now, the service manager says they have to report to Honda every step before they take to next step????????????????

Yes. If it's going to go through warranty Honda is in control and your dealer will be playing by their rules. There is a certain order they go through

I think thats how it happened to mine, was backing up a very steep hill for fire wood. So is this a utility S X S? Mine had 16 hours on it when I changed the oil, the oil is very dirty, I saved the oil because it was so dirty. I wonder if this is bad on the motor having all that clutch material floating around in the oil or does the engine oil filter keep the particles out of the motor?

It probably is what happened. They do have two separate filters one for trans and one motor. The oil obviously has the clutch fibers in it but usually first oil is a little dirty.

I run Honda oil in my log splitter for a year before I change it and it's not any where as dirty as the oil that came out of my 1000-5. And it has a Briggs & Stratton engine and I split around 30 ricks of wood a year.

First oil change was real dirty, thats why I saved the oil.

In case something went wrong with my ride, now I have proof if Honda dosen't take care of it.

So tell me how not to burn up clutches

First of all don't run super slow speeds like under 4-5 in low or probably 7-8 hi. Flat terrain isn't quite as dependent on that but still. Get on it when you take off it helps the clutches engage quickly and doesn't slip as much. Especially watch reverse, getting out of trouble like climbing a hill or mud in reverse you don't have low range and it's harder on the rig. Don't tug on something in reverse unless you have to. In reverse get harder on the throttle to get them to lock up if you baby it the clutches are slipping getting hot.
One other thing if you use lots of power like from winch let it build back up a bit, if it's low on power it doesn't shift correctly because of the electronic controls and it'll slip clutches

Excellent answer, CP.

As my signature line says... If you're working it, drive it like a tractor. If you want speed, drive it like a racecar. Keep the RPM's up. It likes it that way.

Buy the IGR and you can creep as slow as you want

I really appreciate this because I don't want to burn these clutches
