Called the dealer just now and they said they need to figure out where to get the line pressures that honda wants so they're wait for Honda to call back. I get my manual this week hopefully. They're telling me the manual isn't clear on what ports to get the clutch line pressures on. Something doesn't sound right!!
OK here's what seminoles main mechanic and service manager are telling me.
Straight from the service managers mouth. HONDA knows theirs a clutch issue.
They have issued a upgraded clutch pack for p1000's having clutch slipping issues.
Now with that being said. . Like in my situation it only seems to slip when I got people on the buggy and we've been riding for a bit. So......he stresses. Make sure if your having a problem use your cell phone and video the issue. Have proof when you go in. So theirs no run around on getting it fixed. Honda will surely fix it quickly he said with there updated clutch pack assembly.
General things he has seen when the clutch is slipping.
Smell: the will be a burnt kinda smell when you take the dipstick out to check the oil on the dct.
Oil: will be black or have a dark tint to it.
He said the 3 he has seen has been the first clutch that everyone is talking about but honda replaces the whole unit.
Now he said you can overheat the clutch most likely what I did he's telling me. My oil is fresh/crystal clear but has a kinda burnt smell to it. But he says they can't get it to duplicate what it was doing to me at the time.
So he told me to take it and ride it. If it doesn't slip again then I'm good. If it does just video it slipping and he will gladly get it swapped out.
Sad I have to do that but I understand were he's coming from. Someone has to pay for the labor to take it apart and check to make sure everything is good.
He did mention if I was super worried about it he did say if I wanted he would take it apart. But.....if all was good the labor would be on me.
I said I'll pick it up tomorrow. So we will see how it goes
