I was testing a 2005 Outlander 330. Everything seems okay but there is some lurching when taking off. I had to rev. the engine a bit and the clutch seemed to engage abruptly. Is there an adjustment or is this normal?

Thanks

 

Not sure on the 330 how the clutch is setup.. But it sounds like maybe belt problems...
Open CVT and take a look..
Also, though as I said, not sure on the 330, but engagement IS tunable on most of them.. Primary spring change will change engagement would be a little smoother with a lower stall spring, OR lighter weights.....

 

I should add that this unit had very low hours, like maybe 25 hours so it's probably not wear, maybe an adjustment?
