Find a good, wide open steep climb that has a fairly packed track.
Climb WFO in untouched snow beside the track and then hit the packed part and then back to the soft, untracked snow and back again.
If your sled gains crazy acceleration on the packed track but when you hit the soft, it slows down considerably, the clutching is off.
When hitting the soft stuff from packed, the clutch should backshift, rpm will hold steady and it should just keep on chewing and accelerating.
There should be just a little difference between tracked and untracked performance. The bigger the difference, the more "off" the clutching is.
When clutching is perfect, you won't be able to tell the difference.
The difference is traction. Traction is king.
I don't have a one size fits all solution as there are too many different setups but I wish I did.
