My 2005 800 twin Sportsman started getting hard to shift and just recently started squealing in low….then very quickly wouldn’t shift unless the key is turned off. Pulled the clutch cover and secondary was spinning even at idle. Pulled the belt and the one way clutch bearing is almost totally seized.

Problem is, the bearing is $115 and by the time I buy all the tools I’m at $300. Dealership won’t save me any money and won’t end up with tools to show for it. Im concerned I’m going to go through all of this just to get the primary apart and the shaft is toast. My dealer can’t get me just the rear sheave with the shaft so I’m out of luck in that regard. I’d buy a whole new clutch if reasonable priced just to be on the safe side but at $500+ I can’t go that route.

Anyone with any advice or experience in this situation? I’d appreciate any input at all, anecdotal or otherwise. Thanks for your help.
