Having had mine now for several months....and also riding in LBR"S Rhintax I don't even notice the cluck....it is a BRP thing you wouldn't understand...LOL
sorry was just making a funny because we are jeep owners also....the clunk has to do with the helix it's not that anything is wrong...to some of us and only some of us it's a statice symbol...of owning a BRP poduct...Barbara

I have this 'clunk' now. I rode Hatfield McCoy a couple weeks ago. I took it out of the garage yesterday and 'clunk, clunk, clunk' when going forward slowly. Reverse seems ok but I tried not to make anything worse than it already was. Going into dealer on Saturday, I'll post results.

Yeah, that may be the rearend for sure ....haven't heard of u joints giving noise on these, but rearends have been a problem ....

BLR was referring the the initial hit of the helix when shifting into a gear, not what you guys are experiencing IMO .....Lance
