How to Rotate Your Winch Clutch in Seconds – PDX MK4

If you’ve ever cursed through a 25-bolt gearbox teardown just to rotate a winch clutch—this one's for you.

The Ultra Winch PDX MK4 features a unique outer gearbox housing that allows full 360º clutch rotation by simply removing four M6 bolts. No need for disassembly, no gear misalignment, and zero downtime.

Quick Steps:

Loosen four M6 bolts
Gently slide the housing 5–10mm away from the winch body - no need to fully remove gearbox casing and un-mesh the gears.
Rotate to desired clutch handle position (usually 90º counter-clockwise for feet-forward installs)
Tighten bolts back down

This means you can switch clutch handle position to suit bull bar or chassis layout in under two minutes—without losing seal integrity or mechanical alignment.
