put some grease in the tranny, and while your at it check th back diff too, by just loosening the pumpkin bolt and sticking your finger in there to see if there is enough 75/90, if not just ADD TO THE PUMPKIN till it reaches the top of the bolt hole while the unit is sitting on its 4 wheels it should just be spilling out at the threads put bolt back in and hand tighten then snug but not too tight, tht should do it.

Disconnect the battery and then carefully remove the starter. Take the unit to a local auto parts dealer for a bench test. Starters have two separate functions, one spins the shaft to crank the engine, the other is called a bendix, which pushes the starter gear out to engage the flywheel, and then after the engine engages, retracts it (except in the case of starter/generator combo units which recharge your battery and power your vehicle's electricals while the engine is running) Always best to get a bench test rather than depending on apparent symptoms.

Did you change tire size?

The clutch is not totally disingauging.

The hub should slide onto a splined shaft. if you lubricate the spline it should slip on fairly easily. hope this helps

If the shocks are worn out, get off the machine and lift up on the back rack. This takes up the slop between the shifter box and the transmission, and usually allows me to shift. I also had an issue with the thin steel plate behind the shifter box. Got a crack in the top , so it was flexing, creating more slop. Welded it shut, good as new.

isnt that a 2 stroke? go to polaris for an owners manual

Sounds like a bad regulator.
