Drive problems with 2001 Prarie 300 ATV

bigbryandesigns · 11-28-2007

Hello forum, I believe that my atv decided to take a break a couple weeks ago... I was driving it and it just came to a stop, will not drive in reverse, or any forward gears, would any of you have a recommendation on how to fix this problem? Replacing the belt? or some other adjustment...
Thanks in advance - B

looks like you need to pull the cover off an take a look at the belt

already looked at the belt, doesn't look very worn at all, but looks can be deceiving....

so you looked at the belt what happens when you put it in gear and try to move it . do you see the belt slipping ?

Does the primary clutch close if you have the tranny in neutral and rev it up a bit?
