well i think it may be possible if you used parts from its trx300 4x4 cousin . you maight be able to use internal parts from the trx300 to make your 300ex auto clutch . BUT WHY the hell would you want auto clutch!!??!?!? i drove auto clutch 4 wheelers for years and loved them but now that i have a manual clutch i HATE riding auto clutch . you cant feather it , you cant slip it , you cant pop it , and you cant start it in gear with an auto clutch . the only reason i would want one is if i lost my left hand or alll the fingers of it , and if that happend i would put the clutch on the other side and hook up the brakes polaris style .[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

quadman22,
The clutch is really not that hard to learn. I remember a few years back when my nephew went from a 3-speed auto Badger to a Blaster. It was so funny watching him giving it gas and then studying that clutch lever like it was GOD. He at first killed it a bunch of times because he didn't keep the gas high enough till the clutch would grab. I would think the main thing would be not to be racing the gas and then throw the clutch out and then finding yourself doing a wheelie. Sure you are going to have to think about every shift for awhile and at first taking off is kinda frighting but it will be worth it. Also a side benifit is that if you learn an ATV clutch you will be able to drive a car with a clutch because you will have the concept of shifting the manual gears. I would say within one day of practicing the clutch you will have some idea what the feel of the clutch is and when it starts to grab. By the second day you will have it mastered. If you are going for a sport ATV get a clutch. You just have more control over the engine and that means the fun factor is higher. Oh, by the way I first learned to clutch on a 1971 Honda SL100 5-speed and I was sweating Butterfinger BB's that day before they were invented. Chet
