Clutches slipping?

Ok guys so I have a 1993 Honda 300 fourtrax 2wd and here lately it has been slipping in only 4th and 5th gear. I automatically thought of it being the transmission but I decided to do some further investigating and decided it is not the rearend and it has to be the transmission or clutches. I’m leaning towards the clutches only because it’s slipping in high gear and only when you accelerate. Once you get up to speed and have higher Rpms it runs fine. So, what do you guys think?

2004 400ex

Hello I’m new to the forum and atvs. Purchased a used 2004 400ex. I heard some ticking in the head and assumed it needed a valve adjustment. I went by the specs in my clymer book. Now it won’t stay idling unless I back out the throttle cable almost all the way or it just stalls. Not sure what’s wrong. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hey Yall. New here. Sportsman 850

Just bought a used 2013 sportsman 850xp with eps. I sold my old ’94 sportsman 400 3 years ago. So, I’ve been a polaris guy quite awhile. I’m glad to have found the forum and am sure I’ll have some questions very soon because the 850 is quite a change from what I’ve ridden in the past.

Any Tips for Removing U-Joints?

I have the clips off, and I’ve tried a c-clamp and some sockets; I wasn’t able to apply enough force normally, so I tried putting the c-clamp handle in a vise, and then I spun the clamp and prop shaft as one. I certainly had enough leverage, but the u joint was not budging, and the clamp was starting to flex!

I know a lot of people use a vise, but mine is not large enough for the yolk + both sockets…

Are there any other methods for trying to get these out?
