need pics of the damage. How much scoring did it do? Sent one of my motor mount bolts around the primary last year and shot it out the footwell LOL it scratched the primary surface a little but I just took a file and knocked the sharp edge off if the big knicks, sanded with emery when I got home, it never missed a beat, still grabs the belt fine.

Depending on how bad the surface is, you might be able to put in a lathe and just hold sandpaper to it and smooth it out again or something similar.

same thing just happend to me 2 weeks ago and had to replace both on an 09/xp.Hmmm wonder if there is a growing trend?

Those pics look dam near the extent of turbostangs damage, his secondary also has about the same amount of damage. Kinda shetty to see this happen.

 

[Modman]

yeah mine wasn't that bad, I only had two little knicks, that will have to be replaced.

Booooooooo - urns, chitty man

pppfffffffttttttttttt..........that will BUFF out..........

 

[Hitchguy]

was just reading on DooTalk forum Doo doctor they have a place that will fix that and way cheaper than buying new, there are pics there for you to see.

knock the high spots off with a flat file buff with 3M scratchy pad and try it, its to bad the belts are 200 buc a pop may be a good used belt 50/50 chance it will work, you know when you getter under a few good pulls back to back

I'm frugal!

I would try a file and clean off the sharp edges. Then I would use some emery paper and a small block of wood (this will keep things flat) to smooth out the file marks. I don't think the 3M pad will do much to the aluminum.

Start 'er up and go for a test ride and see first hand your results. It will work or it won't.....if it doesn't work then it will cost you money!!

If there is minor damage then the file and emery/scotchbrite pad work just fine. If the damage is much worse then they should be able to machine it out with no issues. If they are real deep and they have to take off a lot of material then you may have durability issues. Either way I would start at one end and proceed through the different stages until you have acheived clutches that now work. Good luck and be careful, clutches go through a lot of stress and generate very high pressures that have the potential to cause major injuries/death when they grenade. Just sayin'.

 

[turbostang]

maybe i should send it to brp so they can look first hand at there beep beep beep beeep junk man it pisses me of when stuff like this happens use quality ch!t not cheep garbage funning thing is the bolt is still enbeded in the sheve rollers still move freely just the head of it cracked right off

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing about the filing of the clutch maybe making it unbalanced if you file off too much from one side. Not sure what the clutch tolerance for +/- on weight spec is though, maybe lots of filiing won't even make a difference to the weight balance. I'd be concerned about filing it down and having it too thin as well or giving it a bunch of flat spots on the sheave face where you file it - it if splits and comes off

My preference if I was gonna fix it myself would be to try and have it machined to remove the dents and that way its a uniform machined surface
