I have an 07 800 Deluxe model.

For comparison, has been warmed up and run around a bit.

If I am sitting at an idle and just ease into the throttle, at about 17-1800 RPMs it will start to try to move, kind of Jerky then, but as I give it a bit more say around 2000-2200 it grabs and then moves.

Is this somewhat normal?

Not looking for a Super low, just wanting to ensure when I am doing work (Low Speed) I am getting full engagement.

btw, I am in Low Range and it really isn't any different when cold.

I am still under 100 Miles on this but at about 60 hrs and had 50 hr service.

TIA

 

not sure on the low range side, but my stock engagement is about 1400 in high range. now w/ my spring in its up around 18 to 1,900 rpms. your better off not trying to just slide it in as you are to steady throttle in until it moves. you can put excesses wear on the burning belt if you try to treat this as a manual shift. imo.

 

Thanks Stendori. That is kinda what I was thinking, why it is kind of Jerky on the bottom and yeah I reran that tonight and it is closer to 1400-1500.
I do now if I like you say steady throttle it until it moves it engages good and will walk down slower like I want.

I mostly noticed it like if I wanted to pull up side by side to the wife, it would do it, but didnt' seem to like to.

Not trying to make it a manual do realize it is an auto, that was a big selling factor.

I have been seeing some different springs. more for working it on the low end. I would imagine they would just give it a more positive engagement at lower RPM, but would sacrifice top end speed. That wouldn't be an issue since it is already faster than I would typically want to go up there.

I see you are running a Dalton Clutch is that more for pulling those bigger tires?

 

I just jab the throttle and take off. Is THAT normal? I'm not joking. Do other people do that?

yes i run the dalton primary spring for a better belt grab becausew w/ the 27" tires it makes the clutch slip the belt a little more. i stilll use low range when i either haul my trailer, or get into the heavy mud to play. just remember the biggest reason for using low is to keep the clutch turning fast enough to help keep the belt cool going at slow speeds.

 

I don't "jab" the throttle, rather I just give it a steady push. Mine grabs at 1300 and is well under way by 1500. No lurching or anything like that.

 

Sometimes I'm in a high-speed pursuit, chasing kids. They take off and I fly after them. I don't actually jab it all the time but I don't ease onto either.
