Can’t say for sure on the splines but the clutch drum should be ok. Mine had groove marks from the clutch engaging. I’ve heard, and somebody correct me if it’s BS, if you can hang a fingernail on the grooves it’s not good, but if it’s smooth you’re good. The blueing on the outer side looks like it’s been overheated before. As long as it’s not out of round or warped like an overheated brake drum.....

I’ve noticed that the hot air that comes up between the seats when riding has significantly dropped since I upgraded my clutch. It’s still there but not as hot as it was before. My wife actually noticed after about 30 mins and commented on how much less heat she felt!
Less slippage from the slug kit and improved low end ratio, plus lower cruising RPM all adds up to the engine oil and transmission operating at lower temperatures. Should extend life and be more comfortable to ride!

I don't like the sloop in the splines but might as well ride it out. Make sure washer is on correctly and nut properly tightened to eliminate ANY movement in the mating. I would sand the clutch shoes to just make sure you remove any glazing and a fine emery cloth on the clutch drum face with a little crisscross pattern to help the shoes to seat.

Well put her all back together after a few issues (my dumbass mistakes) and ran her on a quick test ride last night.
(I currently have my buddies stock wolverine tires and wheels on)
First thing backing out of the garage I chirped the tires... whoa!
Warmed her up a bit and then let her run... from a dead stop on a steep incline clutch engages pretty much immediately and accelerated to the top with the engine screaming and tires spinning! That was with 500lbs on the machine and it wouldn’t come close to that with half the weight before
3” smaller tires still accounting for some of this gain I am sure so I am anxious to get my shoes back from my buddy and see a true comparison on how this changed my performance. This set up gained me 4 mph top end but for the first time I hit the governor at 54mph on the Speedo
I will say there is a definite difference in low end and 4low was impressive!
Probably going to be a while before she gets the full test since we have snow in the high country
Pretty sure this solved my problems I was having.
One item I did find when cleaning up the cage to put it back on though was the bearing housing and gasket were covered in Grease and when wiping that off I noticed gasket material was torn and the inner spring was showing... not sure how much issues that may cause but plan to get those parts coming this week. The cap to the bearing housing also looks as if the nut on the primary sheave spindle was hitting and essentially milled out a bit of the cap a bit. It was not touching after I installed it so wondering if someone in the past didn’t get it on tight enough which would also potentially explain the slight damage to the splines.
