Clutch squeeks

encky · 12-28-2011, 02:09 PM

I've got about 8hrs on my 2012 Ranger 500. When I let off the gas, there is a squeeking sound which I have been told is the clutch disingaging. It only happens when I let off the gas. Is this normal and will it go away over time?

My 2011 500 has done it since day one. Now has 1400 miles and no problems.

I have a 2010 800 crew, and mine squeaks off and on also when I let off the gas. Especially when you hit it hard , then let off. It hasn't been any kind of a problem for me. The dealer said it was the clutch also. I'm not to concerned.

It squeaking because the primary is transitioning between open and engaged, the belt is slipping just a little in it. Is it going to hurt? I hope not because mine does it too

I think it's just one of the disadvantages of not having a wet clutch or EBS.
