2004.5 sportsman 500 ho grinds at low idle
#1
its idle is set to 1000rpm
it makes no noise in low or reverse
when high gear is selected the quad will roll a bit nothing major, at this time there is a sound that comes and goes seems from front of transmission that sounds terrible....
for example shift into high gear and give some gas to roll take off throttle and roll and then this sounds happens (clanking like gears not messed or chain rattle)
take off and drive normal all is well smooth as can be....slow down to a creep or almost stop and clunking noise again
primary,secondary, belt all new (well not new the originals have been swapped out to trouble shoot with my buddys 04.5 clutches) spline on output shaft looks and is tight as well as front u joint.....any idea from all you experts I really don't want to take out transmission yet
also I can duplicate it easy while on jack stands with quad running in gear and hold onto driven clutch at idle lowest speed tires barely turning any ideas or thoughts I have read a lot on here as well

See if the belt drifts over and touches the inner front clutch sheath. If it does it can keep the rear clutch spinning and have a load on it. Worn fiber and brass washers in front and rear of the one way bearing are the primary cause for this.

clutch needs to be removed and use special tools to take apart the clutch.
