from the first day of my owning the xp its been difficult to shift from park to high when running, I had looked at the primary and secondary without pulling either, finally pulled both for close inspection, found the one way clutch/bearing part #1521667 was seized, finally located a stocking dealer that had the tools and knowledge to replace it, when the tech attempted to disassemble the spider it was seized as well and spun the rear sheave loose instead, purchased a used clutch and rebuilt it instead, shifts as smooth as I could ever expect it to, so if ur having a hard to shift issue chk the one way clutch bearing, it should rotate one direction and not the other.
Thanks to Outdoor Powerhouse for great and prompt service.
