Dealer says clutch is junk
Took the drive clutch off my ATV ('01 500HO) as it was creeping on me. got it to the dealer and said because the sheaves were scored our grooved that the clutch needs to be replaced at $430.00
I've done alot of looking around on the net and can't find anyone who sells the sheaves. I find plenty of P90 rebuild kits but no sheaves. I think my clutch is a P90, if not tell me what it is.
I can rebuild the clutch if i can find the parts or is this just one of those things that you take off and throw it in the trash can.
Thanks in advance for the help.

are the sheeves grooved down at the bottom right above the one way clutch?If its grooved down at the bottom then the the grooves in the belt wont line back up with the one way properly.because the belt will set over against the sheeve in the groove in the sheeve and not align its self with the one way.

I rebuild clutches on sleds, and ATV's all the time, there have been times when I see a clutch and I have to tell them it is junk. So here goes; first of all can you get us some close up pic's of the sheaves? Have you ever rebuilt the clutch in the past? If you haven't and the clutch is from a 2001 Polaris, chances are the dealer is right, if you have rebuilt the clutch in the past, then it might have life. You can run your finger down the sheaves and if you notice any grooving or warping towards the taper, time to start looking.
If the clutch is shot, I would go to a Insurance salvage yard, E-Bay, CL's, any swap meets, etc to find another clutch

Go on E bay, Cant you buy any Sportsman 500 clutch from any parted out SP500,Magnium,Xplorer of any year as long as you buy its matching scondary as well? The 500,455,425 Fuji motor never ever changed so the crank the primary goes on are the same and the tranny of the SP500 never changed so the secondary should fit also.
Who cares if its a used Primary and secondary from a wrecked 1998 or 2009.
For that matter cant you use any primary that fits your Fuji motor's crank with you secondary as long as they aligned correctly.
