With stock clutching, engaugement is 3800 rpm. Do you have aftermarket clutch kit?
2005 Renegade Spinning Track On Start
My 2005 Renegade 600 HO SDI engages the clutch too rapidly on starts. As a result the track spins too fast thus digging down in the snow. This is especially annoying when in reverse as the track merely spins down and I usually end up getting stuck. It seems that no matter how easy I take it on the throttle the engagement is too high. I've been told that to remedy this I need to add weight to my clutch or replace the spring. Any suggestions? What would be the normal engagement rpm of my sled?
I'd appreciate any help/advice.

No it's OEM. Could the spring tension have weakened? It has only 3500km.
if that is the case then it will engage sooner. check your belt width.No it's OEM. Could the spring tension have weakened?[/b]
Belt is almost new. 36.5mm in width. Manual says the min. is 34.2mm. It sits level or a shade below in the secondary.
Might be time to service the clutches
What rpm is it engaging at?

It should be sitting about an 1/8th of an inch above the secondary. Adjust the belt deflection, and that should fix it right up. It shouldn't engage as hard, and if there is a slight bottom end bog, that should be fixed as well.Belt is almost new. 36.5mm in width. Manual says the min. is 34.2mm.

Raising the belt even further up in the secondary would mean you start in an even lower ratio and then justy make the issue even worse.It should be sitting about an 1/8th of an inch above the secondary.

First thing i would do is make sure the rear suspension is adjusted peoperly so youy have proper transfer and better traction.
Now stiock engagment, as someone already pointed out , is 3800 rpms. What are you engaging at?...If you want you can install a primary spring with a lower start force. If stock uses a 160/290 spring then look for a new spring with say a 100/290 or 130/290 rates. This will lower your engagement.
As for trenching in reverse. Really no fix for this. They all do it in deep snow. Just the nature of the beast.
