Hi I have a 2007 Argo Avenger EFI , I am trying to pull the Invance driven clutch and it is not budging. Any tricks to get it off . I soaked the shaft as best I could with penetrating oil.
I am pulling it to overhaul as I am having problems power wise once the drive has been worked for 30 minutes or so. When I first start out it seems fine and then the power goes to pot. It looks like the shoes are worn down as I can see there has been some metal rubbing on the movable sheeve. If I stop the vehicle and restart it , it goes fine for a while and then again loads down the engine. The engine , transmission and chain systems are all fine. So other than the clutch system I can see no reason for this. The system at idle and no load speed does just what it is supposed to do, according to the Argo service manual. I've had clutch problems with snowmobiles that caused problem similar to this and that's another reason I believe it's the clutches at fault. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
