Primary Clutch Options for 2016 M8000

sledshred · Mar 16, 2021

The primary clutch on my 2016 M8000 has a crack in it and needs to be replaced and I am wonder what all the different options are. My primary is a Team Clutch, part# 0725-854. Can I just drop in any of the Team clutches for 2016-2021 M8000s without any issues other than alignment? Are there any other reasonably cheap options made by other manufacturers? So far finding new and used has been difficult. This sled is becoming my backup/ski access sled so reliability and cost are more important than performance.

Cheap and reliability don't generally go together. Why not just replace the component with the crack, that would be your best bang for the buck. A whole clutch isn't going to be cheap, especially if your looking for reliable.
A clutch shouldn't take much more then an hour to go through by an experienced shop. So an hour labor plus parts.

Unfortunately its the movable sheave that has the crack...everything else is good. Not sure but I haven't seen sheaves for sale on their own.

You should be able to get that from the dealer, no/yes?

CAT Parts right now are BRUTAL to get your hands on..... it's very disappointing.

I'd call a performance shop like Specialty and see what they suggest.

You should try Cats exploring clutch. They really are a blast. Best bang for your buck. Lol

Cat wont sell clutch parts either. Spring and weights only.
Other than that you buy the entire clutch.

Nope, as others have said they sell the clutch as a whole. Been calling a few different places for used ones but so far no luck.
