Default sportsman 500 clutch housing is grinding away

I know that there is all ways discussion on polaris belt issues, but my trouble is that the drive clutch is grinding a hole in the plastic housing where the pulley bolt is. Is there an adjustment to push the clutch in? Does anyone make a deeper housing. I want to see if this is an easy fix or do I have to see the dealer? This is on a 98 500 sportsman. thanks

the engine might have moved to allow the clutch now to hit or maybe the botl has loosened up? have you had it off to see where its hitting?
