You tuber "King of ATV Repair" did a video about this. He had to rebuild as someone prior had rebuilt the transmission and did not replace the washers/shims you referred to. Thanks for the tip. Good video, and this helped me a lot.

I have a Mule 3010 that had low compression and I put a rebuilt engine in it. The problem I'm having now is that while both the primary drive clutch and secondary driven clutch spin together with the engine idling in neutral, as soon as you go to put it in any gear the secondary driven clutch completely stops moving and the primary drive clutch keeps turning so the belt makes a very loud squealing noise due to the friction of rubbing against the secondary driven pulley. I put a new secondary driven pulley and belt on it and the problem still exists. I inspected the two gear selector linkages on the transmission and they both operate freely. I even went out to look at a friend's Mule 3010 and took a video of the operation of the two gear selector positions in high gear, neutral, low gear, and reverse to compare and they look to be identical. Does anyone have a clue what would be causing this? The only other thing I can think of is that when I first went to start the engine, the shifter cable bracket was still hanging loose since it is bolted to the engine and I had to move it around a bit to get it in neutral so it would crank. Not certain if this could have caused any issues, but again both of the gear selector levers appear to be operating properly. Transmission fluid is full and clean. Any ideas?

I replied to your other comment in my other video. Hope that helps. Thanks.

I can't stand when people don't post the finality to the problems they encountered on jobs they ask questions about. The problem with my issue was essentially my fault in the details. After the engine started just fine, I did not set the idle RPM to the factory specification per the manual as it idled just fine. Therefore, when I revved the engine to engage the clutches, the idle RPM was too low and the belt squealed and I did not rev it high enough to engage the clutches due to the sound/ noise. I connected an inductive pickup tachometer and set the idle RPM to what it should be (which I think was around 900 RPM) and everything was fine. It was a new engine with a new carb and everything else, and it was idling just fine at around 500 RPM which was surprising. User error. Thanks!
