I am very meticulous when it comes to keeping my sled running the best it possibly can. The clutches come apart every season or twice a season depending on how much I ride. The one thing with the roosterbuilt kit that Paul and Dave warned me about was that it comes with a much stiffer prim/sec...
I had the exact same issue. These tra clutches are not as bullet proof as people think they are. I agree with you springs and bushings almost every year.
He had both in his hand went he showed me and the BRP bushing look like a cheap nylon/plastic looking bushing and the upgraded ones are def heavy duty with some type of Kevlar or something in them.
Well speaking with Paul and Dave at rooster built and ken at specialty apparently this is a very common problem with the tra clutch. After the aftermarket bushings were installed I have never had a problem since and I put 3000km after the bushings were swapped. No wobble, no noise and zero...

Very cool show at our expo Center by rexall place. They have tons of gear for sale as well as everything you could think of for a snowmobile. Definitely worth the drive up.
Stayed with the guys at summit river lodge last year for our annual Edmonton firefighter trip. Awesome place to stay, unreal food, sled vids every evening with drinks and owner was nice enough to let me wrench in his garage when I broke a couple reed pedals. Between him and glen I was full...
