Need a reverse helix from 2009-2011 M Series Arctic Cat.

part # 0748-7000

36 degree Reverse capable Helix

I bought a good 2008 M1000 chassis with a blown motor and swapped the motor from my old beat up chassis. The new chassis has a BDX Lite Diamond drive and the electronic reverse conversion...problem is, the driven clutch has the stock helix and does not have the reverse notch. The track will spin in reverse when it is up on a track stand, but it will just shudder and chatter if there is any weight on the track. The previous owner told me the reverse worked...but it obviously could not have because it still has the stock 2008 Helix.

Took the sled out for the first big ride last weekend and it really sucked not having reverse while we were busting a trail in through a creek bed.

Did a little backyard machining on my Helix today (well within caveman specs) and reverse seems to work just fine now, but I would still like to get a proper reverse Helix.

I cant find anything on Kijiji or any of the wreckers I have called.

Anyone have a spare reverse style Helix they want to sell?

also if the secondary sheaves get too glazed , the sled will behave the same way. took me a few days to figure that one out.
