Title: 2007 eiger manual trans funky issue when wet
Post by: cheapthrills on April 21, 2009, 02:02:17 PM
My sons eiger SOMETIMES seems to have a slipping clutch when wet, 1 minute out of the water then its fine and strangely it very occasional even when getting wet all day. Anyone have any thoughts about why?

certainly first and reverse, don't know about the rest. Even in 4x4 front and rear barely move when this happens.

I have an automatic EIGER. When it gets really wet the belt slips. I have had water go down my vent pipe that is under my seat into the belt area. I would check all those connections to make sure there is no way water can get in. I have to run it if it gets wet and if it is bad I have to let is dry out a little. It could be that or the belt getting old and jumping teeth when wet. Sorry I know nothing about clutches. I would think if it works when dry then it would not be the clutch. Not sure. How many mile or hours on it? Hope this helps. Just me experience with mine.
