So I was wondering how often people clean there clutches. Like washing them in the wifes dish washer, also blowing them out with air. Just wondering what other people arre doing.

Once a year for me and sand them both with 150 grit. Take the springs out to sand.

I blow mine out after every ride with the air compressor. And about once a month I pull it and wash it in hot water and soap to degrease and inspect it. Then I reinstall it and start the sled without the belt, and run a Brillo pad with carb cleaner (ether) over the sheaves. Repeat with a clean cloth and reinstall the belt. Its amazing what a difference it makes in how your clutch operates. Also if you store your sled in the off season outside with the cover on I usually pull the clutches and put them inside where they stay warm and dry. But then agian I'm picky as He!! when it comes to my sled
would it hurt them in any way to throw both clutches in the dish washer???
