 Prodrive guys and clutch
Have any of you seen this? Had a problem with the pto constant drive switch and then it just went out one day. The momentary button still worked until today. I just put a bungi cord around it to get by. That went out. I orderd a new switch already should have it tomorrow, but have any of you seen this issue. I have traced and wiggled wires and what not and I do not see any issues with them.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
If both switches arent working it might be the clutch.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
The clutch was working before, the constand pull out switch wouldn't work, but the momentary would. I do not think it is the clutch. Anyone have issues with their switch.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
Joe M, What was wrong with the wires going into the clutch? My wiring harness wires have wiggled lose, but I have never noticed anything with the clutch I guess. What should I look for.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
What should I look for and how should I investigate it? I want to be able to solve this issue very quickly.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
Inspect the wires that go into the clutch very close, right at the point where they go into it. Thats where my problem originated.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
After 30 minutes on the phone with brian from prodrive we think we found the issue of needing a new clutch like you guys had said. Somewhere from the two wire plug to where it goes into the clutch there is a short. Has to be because that wire is getting hot as f$ck

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
Clutch is shorted out. I bet when its taken apart its outer plastic protective covering is melted and wires are broken.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
go ahead and replace the switch too...when the clutch shorted out, it probably fried the switch.

 Re: Prodrive guys and clutch
I have a 09 36 and the clutch went out around 50hrs. PD covered me for the new clutch and haven't had any problems with it after 30 hrs.
