You take the sheave apart and check for dryness/dirt, ect.?? The stock belt is a good one. There is a spec on it's width, that's where the wear occurs even though it may look new.

Yeah pate is right. You can mic it. I think between 34 and 32 mm is spec. I am not for sure. It has been along time since I did mine. I know that mine showed no wear after 1700 miles.

I'd suspect your one way bearing.

Has your engine braking gotten worse?

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:40 pm

no just the slipping when starting and trying to climb hills. it even slips when you slow down to go over a fire break then start again.

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:31 pm

do you smell burning rubber?

no i havent that i can remember

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:36 am

Sounds more like the internal centrifugal clutch instead of the belt or external clutches

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:57 pm

its ether the wet clutch or the cam-plate in the sheave or one of the pulleys is starting to strip the splines.

i hope so i am at my wits end with this problem.

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:19 pm

Hey Rhino-Rider, While you have your sheave off, I would send it off to WV Hot Rod Rhino, and have him mill it. The way he mills it is designed for the OD weights, but unlike a "machined sheave"....To give low-end with the OD weights.

I am sending mine off today to have him do mine.

no grease in mine it has the greaseless overdrive sliders. i went my local yamaha dealer and they say most likely internal clutch pack. 285 for the part and 2 or 3 hrs labor 65 and hour labor. anybody know where i might get it done cheaper? i am not wanting to tear into this depth myself.

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Thu Mar 03, 2011 6:51 pm

sounds like the wet clutch is shot

yeah tell me about it big r

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:49 am

When you had both sheaves off you were not far from the clutch pack. The most time consuming part after the sheaves is taking all the bolts out of the back half of the belt cover. Just remember to drain your oil.

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:04 pm

i am just going to take it to the dealer i guess i dont know enough about this stuff to go any further i think. thanks for the info everybody

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:19 am

have you tried changing the engine oil? the wet clutch gets it lube from the engline, and it don't like certian oils. I't don't like synthetic at all. I put mobile one in mine and it was slipping bad. drained it, put penzoil in it, worked fine.

Subject: Re: rhino clutch slipping Fri Mar 18, 2011 10:16 pm

still at the dealer 2 weeks later they say they are still waiting on a part. it was worse than first thought not only is the inner clutch bad but the housing too. they are talking 600 to 700 to fix it.
