Thor you are looking at the non EBS driven clutch look at the A00CD50AB the bearing #23 or part #3585710 is the cause of this. The clutch when at idle rides on this, and From what I remember by taking this apart is that the bearing is plastic. The wearing of this part will bring the sheaves closer together making the belt ride higher in the secondary making the belt tighter.
I think I solved the mystery. However I still stick to my guns about the easy fix with the belts. Although the bearing is probably cheaper than changing the belt.
Thor check out the price for that bearing.

====No I actually was looking at the parts for a drive clutch ( I have the 2000 and the 2001 manual pages right next to each other. There are a couple of errors in the clutch illustrations in the on line illustrations.

"The clutch when at idle rides on this, and from what I remember by taking this apart is that the bearing is plastic. The wearing of this part will bring the sheaves closer together making the belt ride higher in the secondary making the belt tighter."

==== 10-4, reducing belt deflection and inducing possible creep.

I think I solved the mystery.

Keep up the good work!

Now... the parts that I referred to in the previous post in the primary clutch are any of these wear parts which can cause the same thing? #7556008,1520231,7556009 and 5131646 or 5631119

5131646 or 5631119 look like the logical culprits. What do you think?

Part # 3585710 has a suggested retail of $8.80 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

wow look at all the replys!They all make good sense. Where would I order these parts.Dealers are not going to understand what I need.At least not around here.Is there an online buy polaris replacement parts website?By the way I do have EBS.If I put the bigger belt on won't I loose the EBS?

Yep, the belt was riding high and also coming into contact with the drive clutch inner sheave.

Could it possibly be???????? Drum roll please......

Wahoooooooooooo!

I installed 2 of these washers with the worn current washer behind the secondary clutch and the clutch creep is a thing of the past!!! I tried just one washer and the belt was still catching the inside sheave of the primary, added another and voila!!!

Try it, you'll be happy with the results.
