ProClimb Jackshaft update coming from Arctic Cat

RACINSTATION · Jan 23, 2012

Just FYI. Arctic Cat is recalling or updating all 2012 800 Procross and Proclimb sleds with a new jackshaft update kit. This kit will update existing jackshafts with the appropriate shims behind the top drive gear. Please consult your local dealer for more information.

So any shim behind the jackshaft nut would essentially pull the jackshaft closer to the chain case side????

Making our clutch alignment bar when dead on sit on the sheave as far as there shim kit is.

Am i thinking right?

So im thinkig shimming out the secondary farther might make it truly aligned right now?

Or am i thinking completely wrong?

Anyone have a parts breakdown of the assembly, I would assume there is already something behind the jackshaft gear and they are replacing it with something else.

Just putting washers in between the snap ring and the jackshaft castle nut.

It should solve the jackshaft "wandering". It will also keep the castle nut tight because it will have pressure from the gear. It will also displace chaincase volume.

Good info, thanks Chuck.

White Rad · Jan 23, 2012

Yah so this should keep the lock nut tight thats great...so how about crediting me for all the f'd up belts since this is admiting there was a problem? And how does this solve the poorly cast secondaries and suspect belts?

Roflmao...ya snuck that in...hahaha

m8magicandmystery · Jan 23, 2012

so Geo was on to this as an issue quite a while back wasn;t he..??

1Mike900 · Jan 23, 2012

Yes he was! So is the gear tightening down onto the snapring? Or just floating back and forth and self ctr'ing with the lower sprocket? Now they can just get rid of the snapring all together add another washer or two and dial in the sprocket alignment as needed for those that are anal? Mike

Hopefully this is only the first of many updates to come to resolve this issue as I don't think this will resolve the belt issues

Dammit Eric,
Always has to be a downside huh?

dejadoo · Jan 24, 2012

is this just on the 800s?

RACINSTATION · Jan 24, 2012

800 only

Because the secondary shaft seats on the bearing in the TCL where the shims go I dont think moving the jackshaft will change your alignment.

Does this update really even move the jackshaft? Sounds like you only need to move the shaft if there is less than 4.5mm gap. So really it doesnt change alignment of gears in chain case or clutch alignment right? All they are saying is the driven pully comes out of alignment if the jackshaft nut is loose so here is a collar to keep it properly torqued....not the answer i was looking for!

aksnopro · Jan 24, 2012

Yeah, this is just there answer to the jackshaft nut loosening itself, which they probably think is everyones belt issue because all dealers can only get there customers belts if they "find something wrong" so dealers now have a way to give customers one belt, instaling this kit and sayin theres was loose weather it was or wasnt.

Well cat fixed an issue we snowesters knew about 4 months ago. Now lets see how long it takes them to realize and accept that theres a belt issue even if that nut is tight!
