Clutch Inspection
All PVT system maintenance repairs must be performed only by
an authorized Polaris service technician who has attended a
Polaris sponsored service training seminar and understands the
proper procedures as outlined in this manual. Because of the
critical nature and precision balance incorporated into the PVT
system, it is absolutely essential that no attempt at disassembly
or repair be made without factory authorized special tools and
service procedures.
1. Remove shift weight bolts and weights. Inspect as shown.
The contact surface of the weight should be smooth and
free of dents or gall marks. Inspect the weight pivot bore
and pivot bolts for wear or galling. If weights or bolts are
worn or broken, replace in sets of three with new bolts.
NOTE: A damaged shift weight is usually caused by
a damaged or stuck roller in the spider assembly.
See “Roller, Pin and Thrust Washer Inspection”.
