I got my parts today and installed them. I don't know if you have ever split the driven clutch but they have 2 bolts for the rollers that you have to install (NEW) then after installing them you drill a hole through the threaded part of the bolt and install a tiny roll pin (like on the front driveshaft yoke). If you don't know about them before you remove the bolts you will strip the torx bit hole and then you have a real problem. I got lucky and only striped one torx hole. Then I found the roll pins. After all that drama the can-am runs great, no noise, no slip. Thanks again for y'alls imput. Or as we say in Texas "THANKEE" !

Found the problem! Secondary clutch rollers broken, parts will be here in the am tomorrow. Now I need to go have a heart to heart with the driver and explain why you cant WFO the vehicle from a dead stop with a full load of passengers in high range!!! Thanks to all that posted you are the best!!!

Ok I went tp the lease this morning and pulled the cover. I used compressed air to blow out the dust (I neglected to do this when replacing the original belt) I got a lot of dust. No signs of glazing on the belt or clutch sheave's. with the cover off I gave it a quick test drive, it still slips and squeals. I came home to order the primary clutch removal tool as my next step was to check the buttons, bearing and spring.. When I return I will remove the belt and scotch brite the sheaves before I remove the clutches for inspection. Today with the cover off and engine running in park, I had chirping from the driven clutch this noise stops if I spray brake clean on the belt surface. This noise will also go away if I stop the driven clutch with my boot or if I put the transmission in gear.

I was wondering if Montreal or Chicago was needed Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. I will be heading out to the lease in a little while and will inspect clutch surfaces and springs for defects, If I don't find anything I will call EPI. As long as I have your attention, do you know anything about "seasoning" a belt?

After reading another post you replied to, you said something about seasoning a belt. What are you referring to? Also I can't vouch for how the other guy's are driving this unit but I am pretty sure they don't use low range unless they are off road and under 15 mph.

Hi all, I am a seasoned mechanic working for a deer lease maintaining equipment. At the lease we have 2 Polaris ranger 800, 1 Ranger Crew 800, 4 Polaris sportsman's (one of those is an MV7). Being tired of replacing wheel bearings, ball joints, suspension bushings, tie rod ends, and axles I pushed for a change. We now have 1 2018 CanAm Defender Texas addition (almost 2 years old), and 2 2019 Defenders (1 year old and 1 month old). The 1 year old gets very little use and has only 200 hours. It has developed a slip and a squeal on normal acceleration from a stop. after consulting my dealer I replaced the belt and it stopped slipping and quit making noise. After 2 weeks of use (maybe 3 hours) it has begun slipping and squealing again. I saw no unusual problems with either clutch when I replaced the belt. Any suggestions?
