It's the starter clutch (one-way). You don't hear about it with the Wolvy much, but they have the same starter clutch the warrior and raptor 350 have been using since 1987, and they're know to go out. When they start to get bad, they get free play and don't work smoothly, that's what causes that clunk clunk clunk sound when you start it, and then usually another clunk from the bottom end when you shut the engine off or it stalls. My warrior is a 2001, and I had to get mine replaced last year. The parts will cost you about $200 if you can do the repair yourself. You will need the one way assembly and the gear the one-way mates with. If you try to save money and just replace the one-way, that pitted up gear will tear up your new one-way real quick, and you're out of another 200 bucks.

Yeah, you'll need a flywheel puller. If you didn't think of it, you will also need new gaskets when you take the cover off. It would be a good idea to change the oil and filter, because there's probably metal flakes floating around all over the place from the old parts getting chewed up.

Yea and I believe you will need to heat the nut since it has locktite on it in order to get the nut off just check the whole assembly and see what looks to be damaged and check your stator assembly and the other stuff i listed earlier in the thread
