Clutch or bent crank?

Clutch has a wobble. Either belt broke at fast rate of speed or clutch bold came out. You think its clutch or bent crank. Goin to get a puller tomorrow if they have them.

it's possible that the crank is not true and may need to be trued, especially after a high speed belt disintegration. Snowmobile cranks are made from multiple parts and are pressed together to form the whole. Pop the clutch and have the runout checked, that is the best way to determine if you have issues. If the bearings aren't damaged, it's possible to have the crank trued so the wobble goes away.

Good luck, hope there's no internal damage!

Yep on my Wild Cats I had the cranks trued and ballanced and it made Alot of difference!
Could also be the bolt is loose or bent?
