2001 and 2002 model 500s were bad about creeping in gear when the clutches are out of alignment and belt wear. Pull the cover and see if the belt is riding dead center of the one way bearing in the front clutch. If not it can cause belts to glaze and get hot and separate. Shimming the rear clutch out on these two year models usually solved creeping and belt problems.
