Has anyone done any clutch work on a 2011-12 switchback assault? I want to put a clutch kit in but not sure what would work good for trail/off trail.Currently have the stock cobra track might upgrade to a 1.75 backcountry.Any oppions and options appreciated.

I have never had luck or considerable improvements in messing with clutching. Leave it stock and just follow the chart Poo has for your sled concerning clutch weights for altitude. Remember engineers spent years to get your clutch where it is at, odds are you will just make it worse.
 
^ totally agree with PR1...screw clutch kits and go with a 1.75 or 2" track and do the stock Switchback Assault 2" cluthing and gearing...mine would wheelie off the line and pull hard and still had 98mph top end with the 2" track....the OEMs lately have the clutching and gearing pretty dang good!
