I have a 2008 wolverine 450 SE, and while out running down some trails, I splached through a few, maybe 1ft deep puddles. after about an hour of riding i headed back, and it felt as if the transmission would slip into neutral everytime i hit the throttle. I could start out very slow and eventually get up to 20mph. about 15 minutes into my rad back it got better i could accellerate faster, however any time the rear end would get bouced or shifted right it would slip back in to neutral. I tested that by just fish tailing a couple of times, same thing happened. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks
Matt

 

check your clutch drain, if you had water in it that is how it would act on you

 

this is the first atv I have owned how do I check the clutch drain as its not in the service manual. it just says that gthe engine oil also lubricates the clutch

 

ok on the right side of the quad(as you sit on it) down by the floorboard is a large black cover, in the center of it on the bottom you should see what looks amost like a key. pull it out and that is the drain.

 

awesome thanks i appreciate the help

 

just wondering what you found when you pulled the plug. Let me know

 

hey ctate did you have any trouble getting that exhaust on the 4 wheeler with the cmp rack

 

I did notice that if you install the rear rack with the gytr exhaust you will have to use some spacers to get it to fit right, Which I have never installed the rear rack yet, but with the GYTR rear rack the exhaust fit perfectly.

 

well to give you the heads up i had to turn about .100 in. off the rear spacer bushing on the exhaust and then cut about .250 off the rear spacer on the rack on the exhaust side. it seems like it will work but if i were you i would try and track down someone with a lathe. i have a lathe so it wasnt much of a problem but without it it would look pretty crude considering what you would have to do if you didnt have one handy.
