I want to ask those of you who ride ATVs/Know about ATVs/Know about maunal transmissions for your advice on a problem my 2005 Raptor 350 has just recently had.
I went to load up my quad onto the trailer to go off-roading at a location. I turned the key, started it up, went to shift into 1st and noticed the engine making a bizarre and loud clicking noise. The clicking would go faster and faster depending on what gear I shifted to.
The quad would also not move. While in first I let out the clutch slowly waiting for it to catch but the quad would just rev as if it was in neutral. I can also let the clutch out completely in any gear and the quad won't stall, also as if it was in neutral.
Something i don't understand is nothing I can recall would have caused this. Last time I rode my Raptor, it performed fine. I got home and put it in my garage. Now out of nowhere it is making this clicking noise and won't move?
I uploaded a video of the problem:

Any suggestions on what may be the problem for those of you who know about mechanics?
